Jan 11, 2003 Light gold color. Foamy small head. Aroma is vanilla and buttery. A mild tasting golden ale. Malty and hoppy. As with the Hempen Ale I don’t notice any “mellow herbal flavor”. Mild malts and hops. Mild flavor. Very drinkable, but nothing special. Note that this bottle was a little old. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Jan 6, 2003 Bottle. A golden color with a foamy white quickly diminishing head. The aroma is quite nice with some vanilla, butterscotch, and nuts that foreshadows a cream ale. I am impressed given my expectations, and this is a beer worth drinking. A mellow nut and cream flavor. I can’t tell what the hemp would taste like. Not a great flavor but somewhat satisfying.

Oct 30, 2002 Maybe i’m crazy, but Hempen has kind of a creamy taste to me. Must be the hemp seeds. It isn’t the greatest beer, but it is better than most.
