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.

Bottle. Really big head that disappears quickly. Slight sweet aroma that is not as bad as some sorghum beers. Taste also sweet but again not as bad as some sorghum beers. I would drink another one.

Dull Copper Color, Small Head That Did Not Last Nor Did It Leave Any Lacing. Stale Earthy Hops Aroma. Sour Sorghum, Earthy, Stale Hops. Funky and Unpleasant. Not as bad as other Sorghum Beers I’ve tried but it does not mean that it is drinkable. Unless you have to go gluten Free route, stay away from this swirl. Pass It...

Bottle from Harvest Market to fill the mix a six I was putting together. Fairly clear light golden head with a tightly bubbled small white head that dissipates rather quickly. Aromas of sour apple and light sugar. Little to no hop aroma. The flavor is sweet with a bit of a tart fruit thing going on with bit of pomme fruit and light sugar. Light, crisp, bubbly. Not really what I would call beer, but it didn’t really suck either.

355 ml bottle. Pours a clear amber with a small, short lived, off-white head. Sweet aroma of malt and caramel. Sweet citrus flavour with caramel and an apple cider finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation.

Drank out of a bottle in a random airport somewhere around the world. I really had no problem with the beer, it had a decent nutty flavour with a good mouthfeel. This is one of those beers that could really fall off a cliff in terms of quality but in fact is quite decent and drinkable by any measure.

Stolen from roommate: Pours super pale with almost no head. Aroma is sugar and weird sorghum funk. Taste is a light gluten free taste, but lacks some of the off-tastes that other celiac-friendly beers have. Could be worse.

Bouteille 355ml sous le nom "Bard’s Gold Bard’s The Original Sorghum Malt Beer". De couleur orangée-dorée et claire. Nez de grains de céréales légèrement sucrées, léger de levures fruitées (pelures de pommes), léger de houblon floral avec des petites notes chimiques. Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-doux ainsi qu’une texture légèrement aqueuse et aux petites notes huileuses. Léger goût de levures fruitées (pelures de pommes, notes de zeste d’agrumes) avec des petites traces de légumes bouillis lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de grains de céréales sèches puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon floral avec un léger goût sucré, rappelant du caramel brûlé, qui se développe. Post-goût moyen et un peu sec, légèrement amer de houblon floral avec des notes de céréales légèrement sucrées.
