Redbridge

(Anheuser Busch Inc, St. Louis MO, US, 4.80% EtOH)

That's really beer there, not iced tea. 

Produced by the fine folks at Anheuser Busch for the gluten intolerant crowd, and it shows.

This stuff is definitely unique amongst beers...the way my wife's incontinent, paranoid schizophrenic, post-traumatic stress disorder having Beagle is unique amongst other dogs. It elicits pity while you have one, but you're in no rush to find another.

A very light body, medium carbonation, and you can definitely taste the sorghum at the finish (If you've never had sorghum, it has a dark, sugary/molasses kind of flavor). It is this singular flavor that reminds you that Redbridge was intentionally created with human consumption in mind (rather than, say, some kind of earth-friendly, organic, nontoxic wood cleaner).

There's a silver lining to this cloud, however. I hereby vow to find a gluten-free, celiac friendly beer that is a worthy champion for all would-be glutenless alcoholics everywhere.
