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.

Ehhh. Pours a very pale yellow that is razor thin. The aroma is slightly fruity? The taste is a weird blend of frutiness w/ a mettalica finish. Not very beer like & certainly not good!

Bottle. Pours a clear pale yellow with a big foamy head that fades to clumps. Aroma is sweet and sharp, of yeast, preserved citrus. Taste is sparkly, with lots of yeast and some citrus hops, sugar and grass. Lingering sparkliness. Not bad for what it is.

maxwelldeux (2209) - Raleigh, North Carolina, USA - NOV 4, 2012
Bottle. Pours a clear and light golden with very little head. I get almost no smell off this. Light flavor with some slight citrus notes to the taste. Meh.

Brouwerij (407) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - OCT 26, 2012
UPDATED: OCT 28, 2012 Poured into standard pint glass. Pours a clear, light yellow with one finger of rocky white head after a firm pour, which dissipates quickly. Minimal lacing. Mild fruity aroma, with a hint of alcohol. A sweet mild taste, with a hint of rice. It is incredibly sweet and drinkable. Light body, strong carbonation give an interesting mouthfeel. Overall, an acceptable gluten-free beer. However, I feel there are better options such as St. Peters Sorgham or Estrella Daura.

youdictategood (234) - Florida, USA - OCT 16, 2012
(old notes) Single bottle from Total Wine, picked up for a celiac friend who ended up not drinking it.. Clear yellow pour with a creamy head. Citrus, yeast, and unspiced cider aroma. Flavor is heavy on the apple cider with a fair bit of yeast back-up. Metallic finish. A lot of carbonation. Interesting enough to try once.

Papillon (323) - Sudbury, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 9, 2012
355 mL Bottle. Pale straw body with a bubbly white head that quickly settles to a wispy film. Aroma of hay and corn husk, some cereals, a metallic note and an innuendo of vomit. Bitter-metallic taste with a sickly sweet something I can’t quite identify; skunky hops come up in the aftertaste in a vain attempt to reconciliate. A sour Derrière de Skunk aftertaste tapers off to a mild corn-like sweet finish that begs for another sip only to offer yet another insult to the taste buds.

Interesting beer I don’t think that I have have a gluten free beer before. not much of a head very clear pour faint beer aromas, sharp aftertaste. I would recommend it to people that can’t drink real beer but this would not be my go to beer.

Not a bad beer overall, just different. Kinda reminds me of a cider brewed with champagne yeast. An ok beer, but much better than most of the "gluten free" beers I’ve tried.

Bottle. Light yellow pour. Not what I’m into but a great option for people with celiac disease or on gluten free diets.
