grant (763), Martinez, California, USA Jan 6, 2008 Aroma is sweet, syrupy, lots of dark crystal malt, milky. Flavor is fairly dry, coffee-roastiness, rather one-dimensional. Clean, spicily bitter finish.
patrick820 (69), San Luis Obispo, California, USA Sep 18, 2008 Pours very dark almost black with a nice head, caremal aroma, flavor is malty and toasty grain, pretty tasty Zbizzle (1), el cajon, California, USA does not count Aug 13, 2008 poured from 12 oz bottle. surprisingly dark, caramel, coffee aromas. there’s a little metallic aftertaste but not to bad. I have no idea why they call it "hemp" ale, but it’s over all a good beer. rayOfBeer (265), El Cerrito, California, USA Jul 18, 2008 Poured from 22oz bottle a dark brown with large tannish head. Aromas of roasted grains, bisquits and caramel. Flavor has a toasted malt graininess, with a touch of sweet caramel and a little coffee. The palate is malty and lightly bitter with a spicy tingle that is not from the carbonation. This one has a sweet start and a slightly dry finish. I found it to be an enjoyable beer. I’d drink one again. Hank1980 (368), Athens, Georgia, USA Jul 6, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark brown with an average beige head that laces. Nose of roasted malts and a mild herbal quality. Taste has some chocolate roasted bitterness and some mild herbal notes, not really a good taste or mix. Finish is smooth and a little bitter. Beer is medium bodied. Mild carbonation. timfoolery (361), California, USA Jun 13, 2008 Bottle from Beerfest at Sudwerk in Davis, CA. This beer wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. Hemp typically makes you think good thoughts, but this brew didn’t. Eh.
