Lakefront New Grist Sorghum Beer

Brewed by Lakefront Brewery
Style: Specialty Grain
Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA

Pours thin and gold. Is that Sake or Elmer’s Glue I smell? Flavor is incredibly sweet, lemon, honey, actually balances briefly before drying out on the finish. A somewhat unpleasant aftertaste, kind of salty and bitter. Neat as a niche beer, not so much as a drinking beer.

Pours a three finger fizzy, white head that vanishes to a ring leaving no lace. Crystal clear pale amber color. Strong carbonation and light bodied. Lemon nose. Starts sweet, fizzy and almost sour lemon flavor, clean finish. Could be a good summer beverage but I don’t appreciate a substitute beer. $1.29 for a 12oz bottle from Blue Max Liquor Burnsville, Mn.

Poured a clear yellow color with no head. The aroma was sweet with notes of lemon, sour dough, and sugar. Lemony and acidic flavor. The finish was dry with some bitterness. Clear light body and even a little alcohol present.

Pretty much like a macro, but I thought it was pretty crisp. Odd having a gluten free beer though.

Nice golden color,small to no head or atleast it was gone before i noticed it’s size.Funky sort of aroma with a sweet side some appleish thing going on as well as a bit of an aroma i can’t quite identify.Very different flavor,not exactly bad though.The flavor is sort of bitter throughout the tasting,with a bit of a bite in the end and a slight bitter aftertaste that sort of lingers a bit.I might have to rerate this one after a few more but for now all i can say is different,very different and i still have 5 more of these so i hope it grows on me.......second bottle and theres little change in my opinion,it’s still a very strange brew,but i have to give a few points for the effort.It couldn’t have been all that easy to use these ingredients and come up with a brew that some what tastes like beer.I might be a bit crazy but as this brew warms up a bit i seem to get an almost ciderish after taste.Hmmmm.

This pours like a cheap macro into the glass, with a corn yellow hue and no real head of which to speak. The nose is spot on for Dunkin Donuts Blueberry Munchkins... and I do mean spot on! Honestly, that flavor starts to permeate the mouth too, but not nearly as pleasurable as DD. There are some sours, but corn-like. This just feels cheaply made. I think it’s presence alone turned me off. Weird, but it’s one of those beers that if it looked better, I’d bet dollars to peanuts that it would have rated better.....

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a small sized head of frothy medium sized white colored bubbles that was mostly diminishing and left behind a hazy softly carbonated light orange colored body and a fair lacing. The aroma was malty. The mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start mediumly tingly at the finish. The flavor contained notes of malt hops breads and sweet candy. A decent one but not one that I would consider buying again.

There is a conviction that man’s awareness of death is one of the guiding forces in life. Beneath every surface activity, then, is the awareness. With this beer there lies the impending doom of what awaits. However, beneath its surface lies further confusion leading one into a state of utter despair. This beer fails on nearly every level.
