UPDATED: FEB 3, 2012 Brown but almost all ruby redness, short head,mild spotty lacing.Nicely carbonated.
Aroma is chocolate,malt,nut,some earthiness.Mostly a unique-nutty with carmel malt.
Taste is mirrored with aroma with a unique taste,good malt taste Mild light sharp medium tangy crispness very mildly citrus.light carmel chocolate light nutty mellow sweetness and a milddrefined earthy herbal bittering. Alot of amber qualities but nutty sweet chocolate light roast.Sweet Carmel /brown sugar chocolate nutty roast overall. I like the mouthfeel its kinda smooth but crisp medium/light bodied and a nice overall flavor.Great for a medium-light bodied typebeer. Nice mellow sweet flavor and complexity. Good light sweet clean but lingering good flavorn finish. Most people could put a few of these down without bitching.

Pours a light brown with a 1/2 finger head. Aroma is just kinda blah. Taste follows. A bit of hop profile but very blah overall. No "hemp" to be had.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 GuamVice (11) - Illinois, USA - JAN 18, 2012
Serving: Bottle. Pours medium-thick body. Very dark brownish/amber hue with very little head.
Smells extremely malty, almost like a Scotch Ale with a little residual hop aroma.
Mouthfeel is chewy and smooth.
Taste starts very sweet and malty with a little hop bitterness lingering at the end. Overall smooth finish and enjoyable beer. A little heavy for a session but definitely can drink 2 no problem.
BIG disappointment is that I really don’t sense the Hemp anywhere. Kind of a misnomer.

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 Pawola22 (1993) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - JAN 13, 2012
22oz bottle from Armanetti’s. Pours a clear, ruby-brown colored body with a finger-width, frothy, light tan head that dissipates quickly and leaves a moderate lacing. Aroma is sweet and nutty with dark fruits, caramel, grain and bread, and a touch of toasty cocoa. Flavor has sweet nuts, caramel, cocoa, and a light bread up front before some dark fruits, chewy grains, and earth comes in. Finishes dry with a light earthy bitterness and a touch of roast, but very well balanced with a solid malty sweetness consisting of nuts, a light bread, caramel, toast, and cocoa. Some dark fruits coming out before leaving a lengthy aftertaste following a medium body and a moderate carbonation. Overall, a pretty solid brown ale. Easy drinking and well balanced throughout with a pleasant nutty, dark fruit, malt sweetness and solid hop balance as well as a touch of roast and toast. Very smooth and finishes nicely.
