Lakefront New Grist Sorghum Beer

Brewed by Lakefront Brewery
Style: Specialty Grain
Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA

Bottle. Pours yellow, lotsa bubbles, an inch of rapidly fading white head. Smells like wet dog, wheat, and grass. Flavor of... uh, lemon and grass, but not much else... hell, not much of any flavor.

Okay this beer is rather intresting. The smell is sweet, floral molasses and yeast. The color is really light. The taste is like honey nut cheerios. with hops. Not a very good combination. The finish is what did it for me. I was long and not very good.

This is my first sorgum beer. Interesting sterile medicinal aroma, reminds me of the smell when you walk into a hospital. Pale yellow ubiquitous lager color and appearance. Looks very sparkling in the glass. Sterile taste carries over to the flavor. It departs from the normal beer flavors to something I’ve never encountered in a beer. Not bad. Certainly this is better than many ’normal’ beers I’ve had. I guess I would not mind drinking this once in a while. It is missing something that is present in most beers. Flavor all its own. Has a finish that is not really bitter but it is not well mannered either. Not as bad as I anticipated after hearing others speak of sorgum brews.

Poured a very light offwhite offyellow color with almost no head. Flavor a weird light watery corny taste with matching weird smell. Not sure what exactly that is - maybe the sorghum. All i know is i dont like it one bit.

From a bottle, poured into a pint glass. Yellow-straw color. Frothy white head that lasted until the end of the glass. Very light hop flavor, but really pale and bland. Definitely a citrusy flavor, sweet, with some spices. Finishes clean. Definitely far from my first choice in a beer, but really not that bad.

All I can say after drinking this is that I’m glad I’m not on a restricted diet. Pours to a lemony-straw color, with a thin white head that lingers thru mid glass, and leaves a little lacing. Both the aroma and taste are hard to identify, but "funky" best describes them. A very odd taste and finish, no doubt due to the sorghum. If someday I have this asa my only choice, I may reconsider, but uintil then, I’ll pass on Sorghum beer.

Had this beer on 6/2/2006. Aroma is a sweet crystal malt scent. Color is a bright gold with good carbonation and a thin head. Taste is crisp and light with a sweet and sour flavor. Starting with a light body it goes down with a crisp feel and a sweet flavor. Finish comes on with the sweet flavor turning a bit sour and leaving you with a mild yet rich sweet feel. Its just not good.

Much like a pale lager, clean and crisp, somewhat bland, but for a prominent lemon-citrus quality that appears in both the aroma and flavor. Straw color. Potable.
