Commercial Description:
Our customers can’t get enough of this amber ale that was orginally brewed with hemp seeds, but tastes just as good without them.

Some amber colour with white head. A good bitter but I didn’t really get the hemp taste, and I think that’s a good thing. Like a decent, and slightly spicey-fruity amber. All of the lineup is nicely carbonated.

Copper orangeade, a thin ring of lace surrounded shy little head islands dancing in the center.
Almost a white wine acidic/fruity crispness in the nose, the hops eventually come out quite juicy, like sweet strawberries.
My first couple of sips didn’t register much for me, carbonation was quite lively and it tasted pretty light, with a dry, if sudden finish. Very low hops. It did end up growing on me, enough to say that this is a pretty decent Beer that, granted, looks pretty pale next to the competiton at Pizza Port, but it would easily beat every other "Amber" ale I’ve had at just about every other brewpub I’ve been to in the States in a head-to-head tasting. At least this one smelled nice.

On tap at The Local in SD. Pours a light amber with a medium white head. Sweet floral aroma from the hops. medium caramel sweetness and a swell bitter citrus hop finish. Has a discernable tea flavor, but I’m not getting any acetaldehyde mentioned by Bück Dich. Maybe my ADH activity isn’t high enough?

Amber body with minimal white head. Hoppy aroma to start but moves into caramel notes. Flavour is fruity and herby with a nice bitterness to the finish.

Tap. Pours a brown/amber color. Sweet slightly hoppy aroma. Burnt hoppy flavor right up front. Some caramel notes. Sweet slightly fruity finish.
