St. Petersburg, Shep’s Deli - stubby 16 oz bottle. Pours a murky dark and dank orange with absolutely no head. Aroma of overripe bananas and Carbona carpet cleaner. Slightly odd flavor - obviously a gluten free product - but the flavor nowhere approximates the flavor of beer. Some scuppernog grapes, hint of bananas and an odd, rotten fruit finish. Slightly better than the Shakporo by the same brewer - but again, thank God that my body can process whatever it is they left out of this - cause I would be in a world of hurt if this is all I could drink.

bottle from wholefoods. Copper brown with a fizzy head. Sweet and spicy aroma. Tart taste with some strange grainy and fruity tastes that don’t really work. Didn’t care for it.

Banana peels, sorghum aromas, i can definitely tell this is a glutten free beer. Pours cloudy orange with a thin white head that doesn’t last long. Fruity, citrus like flavors, very cidery and thin mouth feel. Not horrible but i like my glutten!

A very interesting beer indeed. Soft, sweet and a very tropical mouthfeel. Pours a orange body with a full fluffy white head. A wonderful aroma, tropical fruits and citrus on the nose.
