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.

OK....I’ll admit I don’t know much about gluten. I didn’t know the government was stepping in to certify things "gluten-free". What I DO know is if I was one of these people who couldn’t tolerate the stuff and THIS is what I had to drink, I would jump off a cliff (or maybe just give up beer). Aroma was nothing but just the slightest hint of grass. Pour was a near clear water with a few bubbles and no head. Taste was sweet in the front and a hint of sour grass in the aftertaste. Terrible.

My deepest apologies to those with celiac disease. this was truly an experience that I would not wish on anyone. Strong sorghum taste, and makes my mouth feel like I just rinsed it with hydrogen peroxide. Given the gluten free beer options that I have tried thus far I recommend drinking rum.

What the hell were the fellows at Lakefront thinking when they put this weird shit together? Were they simply trying to tap into the "wheat allergic" crowd? Looks like piss and tastes like a bland piece of white bread soaked in tap water.

Richmond Gathering. 12 oz bottle. Gold with a white head, lotsa floaties. Odd, wheatlike grainy. Whatever.

As a gluten intolerant person myself, i was fairly impressed with this beer. Gluten free beers may never be as good as a real beer with barley or wheat, but in the mean time this is a viable substitute.

Found this one bottled at the Extra Value Liquor Store in North Aurora, Illinois. Bottled, so didn’t get a good look at the color. A very nutty and complex nose, with a bit of nougaty sweetness. Flavor is very unusual. Kind of biscuity. I don’t really know how to describe it. Sharp but balanced finish. I would be interested in sampling it again.
