| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 13, 2005 (bottle) Deep brown with hints of red. Malty aroma. Malty flavor with not much complexity. MayorQuimby (100), Santa Barbara, California, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Mar 31, 2005 Tap. Dark brown ruby color, thin whitish head, little lacing on my glass. Aroma is gently malty, not much complexity to it. Flavor has a dark malty flavor, a little darker than Newcastle, a twang of bitterness to it, kind of spicy in the finish. Body is average for a beer like this. A run of the mill beer, not much too good nor too bad to say about it. SDalkoholic (1196), Chula Vista, California, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 15, 2005 Dark mahogany hue and no head. Aroma is of sweet malt , cherries, and somehow i scent bud brownies. Flavor is malty with dab of brown sugar and resembling a weak English strong ale. I feel like my breath smells like i just ate some bammer meckie but i didnt taste no buds in the beer itself. Maxamillion (103), Glendora, California, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 23, 2005 Small Head, a lot darker than what i was expecting. dark amber/brown. Nice refreshing feel. Good for warm day. I would say that it looks like it should taste a tiny bit stronger than it is but i really like the taste myself. I really enjoy this brew and will keep it on hand.

On tap at the Library Alehouse, Santa Monica, 12-02-04...with all their great taps, I had to concentrate on new beers, and ended up choosing this...
Dark amber color, nearly brown, very slim head, quickly departing
Aroma is herbal, grassy (heh, heh)...not much else.
Body is thinnish, hollow, malt dominates in the tastes, but nothing really sticks out...not sure where the hemp comes or goes, as a gimmick, it never really shows itself, and is an empty gesture.
Leaves dryly, and ends up feeling dull and disappointing...there were other new beers among their tap line-up, but I went with the one with the marijuana leaf on it...that’ll show me.
I didn’t have much enthusiasm for it, but...it’s a serviceable ale, though not to hoop and holler about.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 12, 2004 This beer poured a golden yellow color w/ good head and slight lacing. Malty and crisp w/ citrusy notes on the nose, and the same in the mouth. Good effervescence, and a light body complemented this beer. I like it. Rentalman (103), British Columbia, Canada
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 24, 2004 (Draft) Light Coca cola color almost no head at all. Roasted chocolate and toastiness in the aroma. The flavor is hops and chocolate with some roasted toffee hints as well. Finishes with a bit of bitterness. Quite nice
