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

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.

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.

Buttery gold color, thin tan head. Wheaty/grassy aroma, strong taste of malt. Bitter strike with a grassy aftertaste. Nice.

It was a decent beer but since the iceman and myself did enjoy them I must agree with him. The concept is fuckin awesome but its more hype than quality

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.

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.
