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.

yellow with a slight haze, whispy white head that’s easily roused to produce some drippy lace, light sweet candy aroma with a hint of spices, good body, nice unusual sweetness, balanced with some light spices, an interesting experience, labeled as a beer made from sorghum and rice extract

Cloudy yellow. Big bubbles. Aroma is massive sorghum, some apple juice. Body is fairly full. Flavour is very sorghumy, with apples and alcohol coming in late. Pregunta - how much gluten do hops have that they had to be omitted from the recipe? Yes, it’s not brewed for me but damnit even Celiacs need hops in their beer!

(12oz bottle, brewed July 06) Small white head atop clear straw body. Aroma is medium sweet, lime, some lemon, light bread. Taste is medium sweet, lime, grain -- caused a serious wince on the first taste but a couple of sips in it was somewhat tolerable. Light body, low carbonation. If this is the best gluten-free beer, I hope I never develop a gluten allergy.

12oz bottle. Poured a medium golden / yellow color with an averaged sized head. Some green apples and just kind of funky. Some caramel in the tastes. This one was kinda weird and couldn’t really nail it down. Light sour finish.

Bottle. This wasn’t so good. Quite watery, with some light diacytel, green apple characters, with a slight stail character, not the most pleasant beer, but it was interesting to try a "sorghum" beer, even if it didn’t pass the test.

Bottle... co-rated by Duff... Clear, very light yellow ale with a small, wispy, white head. Lots of acetaldehyde I suspect. Smells and tastes watered down with lots of green apple bubblegum and spent grain. Light-bodied and fizzy. Short crisp finish. Neither of us liked this one much. Not at all good. If you’re going gluten free, go with Dragons Bard at this point.

Pours a transparent sparkling golden with a thin, wispy-lacing covering of white head. Grainy, slightly peppery floral aroma has a touch of citrus and noble hops. Body starts faintly sweet with some citrus tartness and a thin palate toward a fairly clean finish.
