Dec 30, 2008 12oz bottle. Had this in 1997 with all of my hippy friends because it was made with hemp. Very weak and watery with a dirty finish. I remember comparing this to a combo of Bud and bong water. Thankfully it is not made any more so other hippies dont have to taste this evil ploy.

Sep 12, 2008 Notes on a ticket stub from The Other Ones 1998- Golden brown, fluffy head. Caramel and chocolate malts on the nose. Creamy mouth-feel with notable hints of nuts upfront. Finish’s with malty/hoppy blast

Feb 23, 2008 Yep, smells and tastes like hemp. Goes great with Bob Marley and cheez-it crackers. If your are expecting anything better then a pleasant mixture of corona and bong water, you will be dissapointed.

Sep 26, 2007 Had this beer on 7/14/1998. Color is a nice golden brown, carbonation looks good with a light head. Aroma is a strong malt scent with good back tones of hops. Taste is full of flavor almost a Pale Ale. It starts off with a creamy body full of a roasted malt feel, this goes down easy. The finish is also full of flavor with a light bitterness and a good floral hop flavor part of which they claim comes from the hemp seeds. It fits the description on the label very well and is a great full flavored brew.

Feb 16, 2005 I am all for gimmicky beer, but it should have some distinct or interesting taste. I have said it before, and will say it again

Sep 27, 2004 Rating from memory, had a few years back. wanted it to be my 420th rating.
Never found this beer to be hoppy at all. It had a sweet after taste almost like bottled iced tea. Aroma was sweet malty with some lingering hop aspects. Don’t know what hemp seeds taste like in order to say if i could taste it but like others have said it is a novelty beer.
