i loved this beer. It was extremly smooth,with a deep flavor. There was virtually no after-taste. I enjoyed the experience of drinking this beer. When i had finished drinking it, i wanted another, but alas that was on the other side of the Grapevine.

Humboldt Hemp Ale is a deep raspberry brown in color with a small, dissipating parchment-colored head. The aroma is of piney, resinous hops and sweet malt, perhaps caramel. It is medium-bodied and ever so smooth with soft carbonation. It is not overtly bitter. The flavor is of resinous hops that linger lightly. I’d almost call this a brown ale. A great example of a West Coast ale!

It’s about time to see a hemp ale in the grocery store. I really like the label I had. (different from the one pictured). I can actually taste a hemp flavor and it is yummy for my tummy. If only there really was THC that made you feel exceptionally warm and fuzzy inside!

For a hemp ale, this is my favorite. Honestly some of them are pretty bad, but I am quite fond of this one. Today I am drinking a pint poured from a bottle, but it is much better on tap at the brewery in Arcata, CA. Still, it is great in a bottle. It has an amber color and a light head that dissipates quickly. Tastes like a decent micro-brew ale, but can't tast any hemp. Previously, I have used hemp oil for cooking, and this beer tastes nothing like that. It is a good beer, a great hemp ale, and it would be better if it was under $7 for a 6-pack.

Small Head, a lot darker than what i was expecting. dark amber/brown. Nice refreshing feel. Good for warm day. I would say that it looks like it should taste a tiny bit stronger than it is but i really like the taste myself. I really enjoy this brew and will keep it on hand.
