Cool Beer Millennium Buzz

Brewed by Cool Beer Brewing Co. Inc.
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
Toronto, Canada

Dark amber pour with fine, slow carbonation and solid off-tan cap. Red highlights. Clear. Smells clean with fresh yeast and light tart fruit, Tastes very full showing fresh pumpernickel, ripe apple, mulberry and lemon.

The finest BC Hemp it says, uh, er, BC’s finest isn’t the hemp product.....Dark amber with red notes, poured a small sized thick tan head. Some malts, some hints of alcohol and smells fresh. First thing on the taste was a slight sour bitterness. It’s definetly better colder than I drank it. Also, has some wierd chemical / metallic flavour too. Comes across on the watery side. Mouthfeel just OK: thin to medium bodied, dry middle and a soft bitter aftertaste that really sticks around.

This beer is based on a red ale then has hemp added I guess that’s why they through it in the spiced ale category. The beer pours a very dark reddish brown; with a fairly thick quarter inch head it seems to have some good retention. A very smooth smell, mostly creamy malts and some mild hops very pleasant to smelling. Taste is a let down very light and watery with tons of bread in the finish, I can’t pick up any of the hops I found in the aroma. Medium bodied but has too much carbonation for me, the brew leaves a very sweet and smooth after taste. I can’t detect any thing that might be the hemp flavor, I’m pretty sure it’s just a marketing gimmick. This is a drinkable beer good for lawn work or just pounding a few back while watching the game but its nothing special.

light smell of malt and planty material, colour is amber with an offwhite decent head. the taste is a little beery, but not light tasting, a faint taste of cannabis/hemp, very chewy bready mouthfeel and a very smooth beer overall, though it has the overall feel of just being a slight step above macro.. definitely worth trying and if you really like it even getting it now and then.

Here’s the buzz - not good. Doesn’t smell or look that bad but flavor is strange at best. I’m not sure if is the hemp or what but I was stuck with the flavor of this junk in my mouth all night......and I had several more beers after it. I suppose it could be okay but it too thin and really needs a stronger malt flavor and some bold hops or something to put the other flavors in the backround. Sorry, but I woudn’t drink again if it was free.

Nice red amber colour, roasty taste, ltle aftertaste. I’d pick it up again...and again.

[1555-20080730] Bottle. Aroma has a bit of buttery popcorn and toasted grains. Clear, light brown amber body with quick white bubbles. Sweet buttery popcorn and toasted grains continues in the flavour. Medium body. Semi-unpleasant.

Bottle. Crisp fresh ale. Not much aroma. Bitter flavour, feels clean and was refreshing to drink. would have liked a stronger flavour in the palette but was a decent beer.
