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.

Bottle. Pale gold body, clear, with a fizzy off-white head that disappears. The aroma is malty sweet with notes of candy, honey, corn and pepper. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. The finish is lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Light body, watery texture and lively carbonation approaching fizzy. A pepperiness in the flavor makes you think there’s a touch of clove behind the sweet taste. My first thought was this is like a watery, below average tripel. This beer could use some hops to balance the sweetness.

12 oz bottle purchased as a single at Olive or Twist in Platte City, Missouri. Apr WK1 notched on the label. Pour is clear pale golden with a one inch white head that falls really fast. Aroma of floral honey, mild butterscotch and mild lavender perfume. Not a bad nose, just sort of weird. Taste is honey and chemical sweet white grape. The cloying chemical sweetness lingers well into the finish. Palate is thin medium, watery, yet oily mouth coating and more or less flat. This was almost like a watered down mead. Not real enjoyable, though I suppose this is targeted for folks with limited options, beerwise.

(12oz bottle thanks to Cavie) Pours a very pale yellow with soda like head. Smell is plastic and old lemons. The taste seems oxidized, with a dirty water palette linger. Not a good beer. The bad linger on the palette is the worst part of this beer.

My bottle (355ml) shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus. Pours a very pale clear yellow with a small lasting white head. Aroma: A weird caramel and apple combo. Flavour’s the same, as well as watery. Light to average bodied. Not very good.

Bottle. Pours lighter golden with a bit of a sweet smell. Interesting to say the least. Can’t really put a finger on the taste. A bit sweet with a little bitter finish. Probably not a keeper here.

Pale straw pour. Little dry aroma. Some diaper and sour on the nose. Taste is fairly absent. Some Sprite on the taste that immediately turns bad. Smacky finish.
