Comments: I’ll be damned! They managed to do a good hemp beer, but then again, it can’t be too hard with such a great basis as their märzen. Very perfumey indeed, concentrated nose with a floral outburst. It does feel much duller in mouth though and somewhat thin and overly herbal compared to the powerful nose.

Oct 1, 2008 On tap @ 7 Stern Brau, Vienna. Pours deep golden color with slightly sweet leafy/hoppy aroma. Taste is sweet with noticable hemp/marijuana, flowery grassy presence. Medium mouthfeel. Liked this

Sep 7, 2008 swing top bottle (500ml).-courtesy of and shared with Doggythedog (thanks!)
Cloudy yellow/orange coloured, medium to big white head, yeasty spicy nose. Acidic hanf taste with notes of yeast, hops and spices. Slight herbal touch in the finish. The beer was two weeks over BBE but still drinkable.

Aug 27, 2008 0.5l bottle brought from Vienna by a friend (thanks Ivana!)
A little past its bb date but still ok. Murky orange-yellow body with a medium sized white head taht took its time to go away. Strong yeasty nose. The taste is hoppy, with an obvious presence of hanf, nicely spicy/herbal. Yeasty, light acidity, long yeasty aftertaste. Ok overall I guess. Just a little off (the yeast is too prominent). Might rerate it at the brewpub.
