Commercial Description:
This Golden Sorghum Lager will appeal to beer drinkers who prefer the lighter taste of lagers produced by the major brewers, such as Anheuser-Busch, Coors, Miller, and Heineken. This ale has a light crisp taste to meet the thirst quenching requirements of the lager style while still having enough body to interest the ale drinker during the spring and summer seasons. This beer has low bitterness and a subtle but pleasant hop aroma that will gently caress the senses.

Note: contract brewed for Bard’s Tale Beer (<A HREF=http://www.bardsbeer.com/ TARGET=blank>http://www.bardsbeer.com/).

Pours copper with gold edges and loose thin white head lasting a good 40 seconds. The aroma has caramel, light dark fruitiness and a touch of graininess being run down by a wave of brown sugar. The taste begins bubbly sweet with brown sugar and light notes of grainy molasses and caramel. The carbonation gets a bit prickly staving off the overly sweet table sugar and brown sugar like notes. Behind the slick sweetness are mild notes of floral hops, earthy hops and plastic trashbag.

Light copper pour, light head and lace. Sour grainy aroma. (Drunk at this point…) Rumple straw (?) is the dominate flavor, tastes like a real beer. A bit beery for my tastes (?). Some bad bitter aftertaste.

Sticky-sweet, malty aroma. Clear medium gold, with an initially large white head which collapses fairly quickly. Tastes like poorly made homebrew - tinny, thin, acidic without any redeeming hop qualities in its acidity. Faint hops in a bitter finish, but the mouthfeel is very limp. Wouldn’t want another if it were free. New Leaf Market.

Bard’s Gold is the beer I tried. Bottle. This is a horrible beer. I wasn’t expecting much given that it is a sorghum beer, but this was just bad. Looks decent enough in the glass, but plug your nose if you take a sip. I’d rather choke down Colt 45 from a can than experience Bard’s gold again.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. The look is straw colored, clear, and has a light white head. The taste is corn, yuck, skunk, and gross. The smell is corn, weird vinegar mess, and bad.

The aroma isn’t that much different than an adjunct laden macro lager. It is malty and herbal with some alcohol. The appearance is golden with a foamy head. The flavor is like the aroma with a bitter soapy finish. The palate is almost smooth. Overall not bad if you can’t have gluten but not a great beer overall.

( 12oz bottle ) Pours a clear yellow body with a quickly diminishing spare white head. Aroma of grain, chemicals, florals, and plastic. Flavor of cardboard, metal, light citrus, and plastic.
