tnkw01 (107), USA Mar 20, 2008 Bottle. Not a very good beer. I have to say Red Bridge is a better beer in this category. Smelled kind of weak. Taste was sour with the taste of millet coming through all the grains. It’s worth one try.
hopscotch (4577), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Oct 2, 2008 Bottle... Hazy amber/orange ale with a mid-sized, creamy, off-white head. Excellent retention. Grainy aroma with sake characteristics, like their Endeavour, but not as harsh. Some caramel and toffee notes. Medium-bodied with a skim-milk mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Good bitterness to go along with the restrained caramel, toffee and grainy sweetness. Provides much better balance than the Endeavour. Crisp, lightly bitter finish. DocLock (4170), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 19, 2008 Bottle from Capone’s. Pours deep ruby with 3-finger off-white frothy head. This one looks great, with great lacing. Nose is vinus fruit, sour mashy malt, caramel, and hops. Tastes of vinous fruit, red winey, with brown suagr, and mild hops. This is perhaps the best gluten free beer I have yet had, and I can’t wait to try the Green’s tripel. robforbes (752), Bremerton, Washington, USA Sep 14, 2008 pours a cloudy dark amber with a small light biege head, good lacing.
smell is alcohol, malt, touch of caramel, some hops.
taste is thick, funky, malt, with a strange aftertaste. llcooldave (177), San Antonio, Texas, USA Sep 13, 2008 Nice red copper in color. Slight musty aroma. As for flavor, this beer has a weird tang to it almost like rancid fruit. That’s the only way I can describe it. This isn’t very good. Cybercat (421), Georgia, USA Sep 12, 2008 Aroma is weak but does have a tasty malt component and a hint of brandy. It pours a dark brownish amber with a thick but not persistent head. Flavor is more like cider than beer, mainly apply and rather on the thin side. Texture is fairly smooth and a little jazzy.
I guess ya gotsta have barley or wheat to make a truly flavorsome beer. Still, they get an A for effort.
