Commercial Description:
An all-sorghum beer. New Grist, a beer for Celiacs brewed from sorghum and gluten-free yeast grown on molasses. New Grist is the first “official” gluten free beer in the U.S., although it cannot technically be called “gluten-free” until established governmental guidelines are determined for all products claiming “gluten-free” status. In the interim, this Celiac-safe beer can be called “barley-free,” and is a welcome product to those who need to live on restricted diets due to intolerance to gluten, a protein found in common brewing grains such as barley, wheat, rye, oats, spelt, kamut and triticale.

bottle - Pours clear, piss yellow with a thin head. It smells like sugar and rice. It’s sweet, watery, highly carbonated, and tastes rather like a weak apple cider. In short, it sucks. I never thought I’d say this, but Anheuser Busch does it better (sorghum beer, that is).

Bottle, Lager glass. kind of fruity aroma, kind of champagne like nose. Taste reminds me of apple cider, mixed with champagne and cream. Kind of sour as well. Strange I am not sure if I dig it so much. Maybe it should have a greater addition of hops. Bought it as a sinlge and would probably not buy more, leave some a taste of sweetend condensed milk on the back of the tongue. Has some characteristics of a flemish sour. Like a mild Duchess with a marshmellow finish.

Bottle Light golden macrobrew pour with no head or lacing. Very weird aroma and flavor. Not gross, but not good. I guess if Keystone or Natty had a flavor, this is what it would taste like. Would definately not buy again, esp for $9/six pack.

Citrusy and funny tasting. Not terrible. A 9 rating seems a bit low. Different but that’s to be expected. Weird aftertaste. Best when it was really cold.
