| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 21, 2002 Dark Brown Color, Medium Head. Roasted Malts, lightly hopped. Full complex taste ’Brown Ale with a twist ’brewed with the seeds of the hemp plant added. Did not notice any ’mellow herbal flavor’. Finish is clean, aftertaste is slightly bitter; malt sweetness shines through in the aftertaste. 2nd tasting much better than initial tasting hopscotch (5528), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 12, 2002 This was an interesting beer. A novelty, really. Very, very good, but not great. No, it doesn’t taste like pot. Try one if you can find it. Good luck. Ringo (959), Loveland, Colorado, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Sep 5, 2002 What’s the deal with hemp? Why do all the hippies glom onto it? It’s not even pot, it doesn’t get you high. And Woody Harrelson, boy he got on the hemp wagon. Well, I’m here to say that hemp is a dry, dusty, grassy thing; why the hell would you want it in your beer? It made it taste old. Fuck hemp. obxdude10 (1563), Pottstown, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 20, 2002 Brownish in color, very floral & herbal nose, also a floral & herbal taste, almost like a pale ale in a lot of ways

| 4.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Oct 23, 2001 First of all, Zool (31) must not have ever tried this beer. I too thought it was some sort of marketing gimmick until I tried it. This is without a doubt one of the very best brown ales I’ve ever sampled - and I’ve sampled a lot! This ale is outstanding and deserves a shot from any serious beer drinker. So, Zool, keep sipping your Bud and let the rest of us enjoy the real beer. Deep brown color, hearty tan head. Flavor is off the charts good. Lots of hops character and rich, malty flavor notes. Outstanding. zool (41), Northampton, Massachusetts, USA
| 0.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 1/5 | 1/10 | 1/5 | 1/20 | Oct 5, 2001 This is not a beer. It is a marketing scam designed to appeal to that subgenre of Phish fans that think the type of microbrew you drink is a status symbol that will help you get laid with some strung out hippie chick in the parking lot of the next show. ’Mellow herbal flavors’? Get your dreadlocked head out of the bong and buy a real beer.
