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.

Golden-yellow with a white head. And the strangest aroma I have ever smelled on a beer. And the flavor is.........intoleerable. A sweet/sour, dirty wheat........oh this is headed for the kitchen sink for sure.....but I guess if I couldnt drink beer for the reasons it claims (which a frfeind of mine cant) I would get used to it

Bottle. Pours a nice lively yellow with a high white head. Aroma is a floral lemon with sweet chaimomile. Flavor is a mediciny butter with lemon air freshener and a bitter, almost mouthpuckering, finish. Average mouthfeel that provides a touch of interest but fades too quickly. Can’t say I would ever drink this again but for a sorghum beer, it’s not too shabby.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a pale straw yellow color with a small white head that faded quickly. The aroma was faint with notes of rice and corn. The flavor was mild but bitter, tangy, tart and a little grainy with undertones of beets and rhubarb. The finish was short, tart and bitter. Bland yet odd.

Zingermanns Roadhouse on November 28, 2008. Very light amber color. No real head, but slow carbonation. Sweet aroma, pungent, bitter, and light flavor. Cant really place the flavor. Good, one of the best all-sorghum beers Ive had.

Well, not what I was hoping for. Golden yellow color with a white head. Sour, not my thing. It would have to be real cold and I would have to drink it real fast, as long as monkey snot were not available.
