Bard's Tale Bard's Gold
www.bardsbeer.com
This one's for you Chris, both because of the beer number (it is the answer to life, the universe and everything, now to figure out the question) and of course, a Bard for a Bard... Bard's is the first gluten-free beer in the US made with malted sorghum rather than barley, wheat, oats or rye. The owners, both with an intolerance to gluten made it their mission to craft a fine beer that the over 2 million other adults in the US that can't handle gluten could enjoy. You don't need to be intolerant to gluten to enjoy this beer. Their motto is "discuss it over a bard's" and they are kind enough to supply discussion topics on the inside of each bottle cap, for instance in the one I'm sampling it says "Are we living in a computer simulation?" It's a nice touch and sets them apart.
It has a crisp clear golden colour with a nice white foamy head.
It smells quite yeasty with a distinct hop smell as well with a note of spice.
It starts off pretty clean, with a touch of yeastiness coming in followed quickly by a light bitterness of the hops and some nice maltiness, which all fades away with a little spice note coming in at the finish to end cleanly.
It is a nice beer, something different, something unique, something to share with your friends and have discussions over. It has a nice flavour profile, it finishes clean, it's perfect for enjoying on a hot day, having with any food and of course, sharing over some interesting discussions with friends.
