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.

Notes from The Other Ones ticket stub, Alpine Valley 1998- Gold pour with a big white head. Buttery wheat on the nose. Malty flavor. Bitter green finish

jazz88 (2384) - San Francisco, California, USA - 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.

UPDATED: DEC 4, 2003 I liked this beer better than the standard Hempen. Great for summertime. Refreshing and light, with nice, grainy flavor.

joet (1851) - Fulton, California, USA - APR 12, 2002
I’m not getting much hemp aroma, a lighter bodied APA with less bite and no resins or evidence of good dry-hopping. A good drinkable pale ale.

Descent, but nothing special. Too much hype for a bland tasting beer. But i must re-rate this earthly product so that it can reside in its proper place in my list.
