Great for that burn out college kid you know, although I tasted no hemp. BückDich (4854), McCall, Idaho, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 4, 2006 Bottle: Pours an amber color with average head and lacing. The nose is lightly hoppy and a bit fruity with some pale malts, but I’m not getting much in the hemp department. Maybe a bit of spice. The flavor is herbal and sweet, rich caramel malts and bright hops, but no real hemp anything. Woo, let’s call it hemp ale to sell more. Why not just Pale ale? Oh, they already have one of those. hayduke (1658), Eureka, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 21, 2006 22 oz bottle. Poured a red-brown color with a nice light tan head. Good nose of spices and a fairly heavy mouthfeel. Flavors of malt carmel and chocolate, with an overlay of fruit. No sign of hemp. But that doesn’t detract from the brew, which is quite enjoyable. dwyerpg (2545), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

Smells like malt, and actually has abit of smokiness to it. :) No flavor that lasts too long, but overall a decent brew. scanman (146), Santa Cruz, California, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 5, 2006 This was pretty smooth for a hoppy ale. Nicely modeled and a real good structure. No jagged flavors. Nice color with a hint of spice in the aftertaste. A nice winter ale. Not real refreshing. Recommended. davidflores99 (225), Long Beach, California, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 25, 2006 Bottle. Ruby brown beer with a nice off-white head. Slightly fruity and caramel aroma. Clean malt, caramel, and slight fruit (stone) flavor. Touch of cpise. Medium bodied. Easy drinking. DarkElf (2681), La Jolla, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 31, 2006 (12 oz bottle: Holiday Wine Cellar in Escondido, CA) Darker in color and "darker" in flavor than I remember, I’m pleasantly surprised at how nice this beer is, and by how much it reminds me of a brown ale. Amber-brown in color and slightly hazy, it’s capped by a small, light-tan head that fades to a ring a bit too quickly. Aromas of dry, toasted caramel and a bit of chocolate, this has the clean, dry nose of a lager. Matching flavors of toast, caramel and baker’s chocolate, plus it has a pretty dry the finish, so the palate a fairly clean for what it is. Totally not what I was expecting here, which is good since I wasn’t expecting much of anything. Flavorful, pleasant, easy drinking, and no, I can’t taste the hemp seeds, a claim I heard a few times when I presented this beer at a recent beer tasting at BevMo.
