bronze colour, no head, dry hop aroma, some astringence, herbal, unbalanced, dry and unpleasant aftertaste

Definitely not retired, though the brewer may have changed. Front label is the same, back says ’produced by BIER-C O M P A N Y, 10997 Berlin’. Green glass, bottle by 15.11.12. Nose is hoppy and sweet with a splash of grain but a little dank and predominately floral. Clear golden with a noisy white head. Only semi-sweet in the mouth, a weak but clean malt with the aftertaste of an international pale lager. Light hops, floral/perfume with blossom honey and slightly herbal. Cleanish medium body. Surprisingly genteel!

UPDATED: JUN 23, 2005 (Bottle 33 cl) Fully golden with loads of impurities in the brew. Head is tall, dense and quite stable. Lager like flavour with a beautifully spiced touch from the hemp. Hard to describe, but very nice. Funny how the well-behaved Swiss have this thing about hemp beers... 051102

Fresh hop nose that is perfume-like. Medium gold color. Sweet up front, licorice-like in the middle. I wouldn’t have guessed hemp without having read the label, but you can definitely taste it. Overall average - gets points for trying something different.

Smells like hops, flowers and gras. Yellow body with a boring litle head. Hoppy, sweet and bitter aroma - hints of hemp - leads to a watery finish.
