I'm glad I took a previous reviewer's advice and bought plenty of hops to dry hop with (thanks Benjamin A) after doing so this was a nice fruity refreshing light beer. Otherwise this might taste more like a domestic light beer. However one small issue is the starting gravity. The product listing puts this in the Medium (5-7% ABV) category but for a 5 gallon batch you can expect around 3-3.5% given the 6 lbs of extract they give you. This was also confirmed in Beersmith so that's on me for not checking first. If you want closer to the 5-7% you'll want to pick up an extra 3 or 6 lbs of Sorghum extract.

The beer tastes great mine just came out at a little over 2% alcohol.

This beer cleared up exceptionally well without any finings, so I was quite shocked to encounter a strong yeasty smell once kegged and carbed! The light body made for a refreshing taste if you can get past the odd smell and non-malt flavor. There was also effectively zero head retention. In the future when I make this beer I will use an ounce or two of aroma dry hops, as I expect that will mask the yeasty smell and also hop oils are foam positive and will aid head retention.

This is a pretty decent beer. I didn't vary from the recipe at all and it turned out nice. I didn't buy this kit for anyone with celiac but my wife try's to really reduce her gluten intake because of other effects. We put this kit on tap and a few glasses after a hot day go down really well. The beer does have a bit of an odd taste, not a bad taste or off-putting, but just not a typical flavor you get from beer. I started squeezing a half a key lime in a glass and it is pretty close to a cerveza, and you don't notice the odd flavor so much. Light, crisp, and refreshing. This beer will be on tap in my home during the summer if not year around. It would make a good base to experiment with different adjuncts. I think a light dry hop will be my first variation.

Brewed this for some friends who have a gluten sensitivity. Friends who had not had a beer in years were super excited to have it. Had sort of a weird aroma and an aftertaste at end of fermentation that I probably should have expected. Anyway, I dry hopped the finished product with a few ounces of summit, centennial and simcoe and damned if it wasn't a nice refreshing drink.

I have Celiac and this beer is pretty good I would put it up against some of the name brand beers in gluten free arena, I just wish there were an option to pick your own hops

My wife has celiac. She likes this one, but I can't really drink it. Like all sorghum beers, it has an strange after taste. Super simple extract recipe. My rating is based on wifes opinion since it's her beer.
