Learn about how we rate & review beers with our BJCP blind panel here


New Planet Beer Company Brown Ale (54)

“This rich, dark, and decidedly tasty ale is brewed with coffee and cocoa which lend a complex and roasted flavor profile to balance the brown sugar notes of a typical American Brown Ale.”

Lakefront Brewery New Grist (63)

“Brewed from sorghum and rice. Aroma is light and fruity. Flavor is crisp and re- freshing, yet fruity and smooth. Hints of green apple slice through the maltiness of the sorghum.”

New Planet Blonde Ale (63)

“Light and refreshing, our Blonde ale offers a straightforward taste profile with bright notes of honey and a subtle floral aroma with a crisp clean finish. Cascade hops.”

New Planet Belgian Ale (64)

“An ale created with a distinctly Belgian character. Bright, crisp, and refreshing with subtle spice and honey notes. Pairs beautifully with a range of foods. Sterling hops.”

Green's IPA (70)

“Made from gluten-free ingredients. An inviting amber-red with full body. Aroma is bold hops with herbal and piney notes; flavor is nutty and firmly bitter with hints of caramel.”

Bard's Tale Beer Company Bard's Gold (70)

“Gluten-free American lager made with sorghum. Taste: Rich and refreshing. Body: Medium. Bitterness: Low (20.5 IBUs). Aroma: Floral. Color: Amber (SRM 11).”

Sprecher Brewing Company Shakparo (73)

“A West African Shakparo-style beer brewed from sorghum and millet, this is an unfiltered, light, crisp ale with a cider or fruit profile and a dry vinous aftertaste.”

Epic Brewing Glutenator (74)

“We use light-bodied millet, brown rice, sweet potatoes, molasses, and American hops. This beer has aromas of hops and sweet potatoes with a sweet grain flavor and a clean finish.”

Green's Quest Tripel Ale (75)

“Fairly light body for beer of this strength; spice and herb nose with flavors of candied fruit. Aromatic, long finish.”

Green’s Enterprise Dry-Hopped Lager (77)

“Pale golden in color; the nose is a mix of citrus-floral aroma sensations. Clean with a crisp, light malt taste, but with an herbal, hoppy finish. Body and mouthfeel are light and refreshing.”

Green's Dubbel Dark Ale (80)

“Produced from all gluten-free ingre- dients. In the classic Dubbel fashion, a hint of dark-sugar and toffee flavor; and a traditional Belgian yeast bouquet.”
