Bards Tale Dragons Gold

Brewed by Gordon Biersch Brewing Company
Style: Specialty Grain
Palo Alto, California USA

not sure if this is the right beer or not but if it is thanks goes out to bu11zeye. poured a light gold with a white head. aroma of grains, citrus, glue, and slight paint thinner. flavor was soured grains and elmers glue with a light body.

pours a light amber color witha foamy white head...poor retention. aroma is very bready with a bit of citrus to it. very fruity and floral flavor...maybe some apricot? and a bit of spicy hops. finish is bready and tangy...reminds me of something that is a cross between a pale lager and a cider. if i had celiac’s i could live off of it...

Clear gold, thin white head. Aroma- butter, earth, fruit juice. Taste is not overly bad for a non-grain beer. Hard to describe- earthy, sweet, nutty.

I finally get to try a sorghum beer. I appreciate that this beer was low hopped so I could focus on the grain character. Its pretty different - sweet and caramelly with notes of molasses and maple syrup. A bit on the thin side, and overall plain and sweet enough to just deter me from wanting to drink it. If I couldn’t have glutens, I wouldn’t be real happy about having to drink this as a go-to beer. I’d ask them to just dump in a bunch of hops to mask the rest. Copper color, and a bit lifeless in the glass.

Rather different sort of aroma; maybe a bit caramel. Solid amber color with wholly non-retentive head. Starts quite sweet. Near medium body with mild carbonation. The finish is rather caramel sweet with no detectable bitter. It’s ok, but ... On the other hand it is incredibly better than Bud!! Might be a little bitter building over time. Certainly not offensive.

Light golden liquid with a thin lid of white bubbles. Hints of herbal honey tea. Some berries and cream also in the nose. Interesting light honey and fruit flavors. But then again it does have some sweet lager characteristics, that while not that appealing, Actually quite a bit better then the few other sorghum brews that I have tried.

This lager pours a yellow gold color from a 12oz bottle. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is grain and cereal, a touch sour/lactic but not in a bad way. A medium to light bodied Pale Lager. Malts are grainy and cereal. Hops are mild and kind of spicy. Flat carbonation. Very Budwesier like yet it has a slight sour/lactic flavor to it. I am assuming that is from the sorgum than a brewing fault. It doesn’t have the crisp rice flavor that Bud has so that one point in its favor. But its still a fairly generic tasting Pale Lager. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is crisp and clean. Aftertate is slightly bitter.

Bought at Party Source, July 05. Lightly hazy blonde with brownish chunks. Rather neutral malt aroma with slight marks of burned rubber (*the bottle was heat shocked in my trunk). In mouth, rather refreshing mix of light crisp grass with decent bitterness for the style. Not bad considering its gluten free. A notch above Messagère.
