Terrible "beer". Overly sweet, bad smell, funky aftertaste. Nothing good about this!

First thing you’ll say is wow thats a little different, not bad, but different. Its nice they’re doing something for people on a gluton-free diet. Very sweet and very finishable.

absolutley the worst beer made by mankind...and probably worse than anything the aliens from citi alpha 4 can brew either...

First this is made by A.B. and they did an O.K. job for producing a beer for people that can’t have a real beverage. If you buy this beer to rate and think it is going to be an exotic brew from Anheuser-Busch. You are just a dumb-ass cracker. I applaud A.B. for making this brew. The flavor should match the colr and aroma of this beer, pretty weak needs more love.Not bad and will drink if I run out of good stuff in my fridge.

Perhaps the worst beer I have ever sampled. My wife is on a gluten-free diet and this is now they only beer she can drink - a pity. There is almost no aroma to this sorghum beer. It’s only non-negative attribute is its appearance, a clear amber to brown liquid with flat head. The taste is sour with an acrid after taste. Avoid unless you must be on a gluten-free diet.

Pours quite a light amber, with minimal head. Very watery palate, with distinct citrus and caramel flavors. Not a bad gluten-free beer, much better than i expected.

As this product is gluten (wheat) free, those intolerant of wheat (i.e., barley) products, can now drink beer. Note, the absence of gluten does not mean it is suitable for all diabetics. The appearance is a nice amber with a durable collar of foam. The taste is a bit different than a normal lager as this beer is made with sorghum instead of barley malt. It’s definitely interesting and worth a try. This style and flavor is very popular in parts of Africa for a long time now. American palates are probably not used to this kind of taste. If you give it a try, especially with meats for dinner, it doesn’t pair all that bad. I certainly do not feel "duped" after having tried it!!

Good substitute for gluten intolerant people but it wont replace a true beer. Bitter flavor and fairly heavy.

My overall score may be somewhat high, but when you have celiacs disease and it can cost upwards of $40 to find a six pack of beer (including shipping), I will definitely rate this one higher. I found out I had celiacs in the summer of 2006 and along with that found I had no beer to drink. It may not be good to those of you who can drink regular beer, but to those that cannot find sorghum beer in their area other than this, it’s more of a reflection of angelic voices. I don’t know how many bottles I have drank in the last month, but while it lacks some of the better qualities of some craft beers, and it is sweet (being that sorghum comes from sugar cane) it is a highly tolerable beer and much better than some of the others I have tried. I see it more as a savior for those that have celiacs disease. After a few, it tends to grow on you.

As a person with Celiac disease I wanted to add my own review to this beer. Understand that this was my first beer in four years. Gluten-free beer is the only alternative I have as neither wheat nor barley is going to be doing me any favors. Hence, my ratings are on a "GF scale". When you live GF a while you learn that not everything is going to taste the same. The main thing I was hoping for is a beer that really tasted like beer and I found one. I was actually surprised how MUCH it tasted like beer as I was very skeptical. Anyway, thanks to AB for making a national GF beer.
