Hey guys,
Just brewed this for my wife (gluten intolerant) a couple weeks ago. Tried it this past weekend and I couldn't keep enough of them cold. She loved this beer, as did my regular beer drinking friends and it's still quite young. Hoping the supposed apricot flavor/aroma from the hops comes through a little more as it matures. Might even do an apricot addition in a future recipe.
I would probably change the sorghum to GF oats or do a blend. Not sure what the sorghum brought to the table but steeping oats has always given me a decent head and mouthfeel and that was lacking in this beer. I would probably up the coriander and back off the sweet orange as well.
Cheers
