Apr 21, 2007 Bottle. Sour ccrn syrup (sorghum) malt aroma. Golden yellow with minimal head. Strong sorghum and grassy malt flavor - for those who don’t know what sorghum tastes like, it’s like bitter molasses. I’m not sure if the moderate bitterness of this beer is due to the sorghum or hops or both. This is a real love/hate beer. I happen to like the sorghum flavor in this beer, but it will probably turn many people off.

Apr 11, 2007 12 oz. bottle. I’m being kind, since this is the only choice for some people who couldn’t have any beer otherwise. Smell is oddly grainy. Not malty, of course. Light amber color, fizzes briefly, then no head. Taste starts out sweet, a little too highly carbonated. Dries out as I go further. Some snatches of fruit and Malto Goya. Even a bit chewy like grass seed. My first sorghum beer, so I don’t have much to compare it to.

Apr 11, 2007 12 oz bottle-pours a foamy white head and gold color. Aroma is funky vegetal, some malt. Taste is medium malt-some sweetness, vegetal, apple cider, faint hops. OK carbonation.

Apr 2, 2007 Poured with a nice amber color but with little to no head. Some carbonation. Flavor was suspect. Aftertaste was that of paper?? Maybe it is in my head. I read on the label it is made from sorghum so it could be in my head.

Mar 30, 2007 The 12 ounce bottle poured crystal clear medium amber colored beverage with a small fizzy head that was fully diminishing and left no lacing on the glass. The aroma was somewhat, no, fully odd. It smelled like old coffee grounds and stale beer spilled on the barroom floor. The body was medium-light with rather flat carbonation and an oily texture. The flavor started off lightly sweet with a nice full grain flavor but soon took on an odd cough syrup taste at the back of the palate. I threw the rest out.

Mar 10, 2007 From a bottle. Smells like a nice loaf of fresh baked bread. Great aroma, but not for a beer. No carbonation at all. Tasted mildly hopped with a hint of coffee. Not great at all, but my fiancee can’t deal with wheat,, so this is just the thing to share with her.

Mar 3, 2007 Poured a yellow-amber with a non-existant head. Aroma is bizarre...smells a lot like cheap, boxed wine. And surprise! It tatstes a lot like someone spiked a typical American style light lager with cheap boxed wine. What a bizarre brew. Not what I was expecting from sorghum, though in retrospect, I wouldn’t know what to expect. This tatses far less like beer than say, some of the rice-driven Hitachino brews. Well, I’m certainly glad the celiacs in the world have a "beer" to drink. Can’t help but think it could be done better though.
