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.

Thin and somewhat watery, Weird flavor that I typically associate with bad lagers, but not as pronounced. Some off-tasting fruits. Not great, but I guess if you have a gluten problem it will do. It’s also not terrible.

Bottle forcibly shared by maniac because, well, I just had to knock out this style IMMEDIATELY even though I can get this beer at the store where I spend 40 hours a week at 20% off at any time! I do really appreciate the gesture, though. Peach/copper color with floaties, which was unexpected. Fizzy, quickly dissipating head. Fruity aroma with a touch of caramel. Taste is nearly identical. I’ve had a couple other gluten-free beers, and this one isn’t bad.

This is a strange beer. Has a bad home brew taste. Yellow with not much head. sweet with a terrible after taste.

12oz bottle. Straw yellow with quickly diminishing head. Strange aroma, sorghum I presume mixed with apple. I’m going to guess that’s sorghum I’m tasting too along with apples. A little dry. Ho-hum but at least I gave it a shot.

Bottle (thanks Amit). Sweetish aroma with some fruitiness, adjuncts (well, duh) and a bit of honey. Sweetish grainy and a tad metallic flavor with quite a lot of carbonation and a very light bitter finish with hints of hops. Pretty lousy, but if I couldn’t drink any real beer I could’ve found it drinkable.

12oz bottle. Poured a medium golden / yellow color with an averaged sized head. Some green apples and just kind of funky. Some caramel in the tastes. This one was kinda weird and couldn’t really nail it down. Light sour finish.
