| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 16, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a dark, clear, bold ruby-brownish color; yellow edges; light tan head with decent retention and patchy lacing. A pleasantly crisp aroma of sweet malts, red candied fruits, with hints of cola and brown sugar; coupled to a mineral / general hop bitterness; lightly sweet. Medium mouthfeel: lots of chewy, sweet malt sugar, juicy fruits, and cola notes; very lively presence in the mouth: crisp, solid acidity, perfect levels of carbonation; similarly presented to the Red Nectar from Nectar Ales, with more of a brown ale maltiness to it; very tasty beer overall. Medium finish; nicely toasted, lingering fruitiness and brown sugar; surprisingly dry and crisp end. blutt59 (2174), Dallas, Texas, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 1, 2009 12oz bottle. Nice little head, suprising deep amber color (I was expecting something light) hops and spices in the aroma. I would say that you can’t taste the hemp on a very very light note, but for a lot of people that would just ’trip them out’. Bland, but it’s not bad, just an ordinary beer, but it has hemp in it. scrizzz (1336), kirkland, Washington, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 2, 2009 Dark roast aroma, not very strong. Dark ruby, fairly still and a small white head. I don’t know what hemp tastes like, this comes across as nutty, dry, and baked. Yeah I said it. CheersMate1 (863), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Aug 11, 2009 Picked up at John’s Marketplace in Portland, Oregon. 12 oz. Hmm...hemp? I wonder what the hell is going on in the emerald triangle. DARK caramel brown in color. Mostly transparent. A little nutty if you ask me. Sort of buttery. I don’t know. If I am under the influence of marijuana I probably wouldn’t brew either. I believe they tried, but it didn’t really work out to their advantage. Not really much of a head. A flat taste, without any spices or really good flavors other than a toasty caramel malt flavor. Didn’t really like this one. Beardface (1036), Eugene, Oregon, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 10, 2009 12 oz bottle from Bier Stein. Pours a mahogany hue with a one finger white head and mild lacing. Aroma is caramel, hemp, earth hops. Flavor is hempy, caramel with a big citrus hop bite. More interesting than actually tasty.
