It was extremly smooth,with a deep flavor. There was virtually no after-taste. I enjoyed the experience of drinking this beer. When i had finished drinking it, i wanted another, but alas that was on the other side of the Grapevine. yesyouam (602), Fairport, New York, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | May 3, 2007 Humboldt Hemp Ale is a deep raspberry brown in color with a small, dissipating parchment-colored head. The aroma is of piney, resinous hops and sweet malt, perhaps caramel. It is medium-bodied and ever so smooth with soft carbonation. It is not overtly bitter. The flavor is of resinous hops that linger lightly. I’d almost call this a brown ale. A great example of a West Coast ale! herbstress3 (221), Bellingham, Washington, USA

(different from the one pictured). I can actually taste a hemp flavor and it is yummy for my tummy. If only there really was THC that made you feel exceptionally warm and fuzzy inside! sphinx (11), Eugene, Oregon, USA

Honestly some of them are pretty bad, but I am quite fond of this one. Today I am drinking a pint poured from a bottle, but it is much better on tap at the brewery in Arcata, CA. Still, it is great in a bottle. It has an amber color and a light head that dissipates quickly. Tastes like a decent micro-brew ale, but can't tast any hemp. Previously, I have used hemp oil for cooking, and this beer tastes nothing like that. It is a good beer, a great hemp ale, and it would be better if it was under $7 for a 6-pack.

| 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.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 16, 2006 Bottled. Pours a rich garnet color with an ivory head. Caramel, chocolate, malt, and some licorice aromas. Rather thick mouth feel. Dry, dusty malt character with a slight hop bitterness. More chocolate and some fruit notes as well. opiate (199), Sandy, Utah, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Apr 8, 2001 A very nice ale. I’d swear it’s
made with coriander and not hemp.
(But then, I’m not sure what hemp tastes like.)
Anywho...a nice beer. Reminds me of Traquair House Jacobite Ale
except it’s not quite as rich.
Warning: This stuff pours like homebrew. Watch out for the gunk in the
bottle...I wasn’t prepared for that and now I’m drinking it! ;-)
