Brewed with 2 row Pale Malt, Rye Malt, and a small amount of Black Malt (just enough to give it the color), and Hopped with Cascade Hops to bring out the earthy character of the 150 lbs of toasted Hempseeds added in the Mash Tun.

A basic brown ale with lite chocolate overtones and the unique taste a hemp beer brings. Tho moderate in alcohol, it feels a bit thin. Overall a pleasant easy drinking pint for a warm summer day

I found this to be a very weak offering. I could not drink it. Ended up mixing with 3 other poor beers that made it drinkable.

Poured on-tap at the brewery and served in a shaker pint, the beer is a dark, amber coloring, with a filmy, off-white, clingy head. Nose of sugary caramel, dank moss and grass, spiced grains, and roasted notes. Flavors are on a caramel sweet backbone, with roasted notes, and toasted hemp highlights. The aftertaste is more of the roasted and grassy notes, with a tangy, off-balanced linger in the finish. This one misses the mark a bit.

Had on-tap at Wedge Brewery. Served in a pint glass.
A- Pours a light brown color with a 1/2 in h beige head that retains very well before becoming an 1/8 inch head. Thick, resilient lacing.
S- Grainy, toasty malt and a decent hop aroma that's not really noticed until after a few good whiffs and swirls.
T- Straightforward toasty malt that has a light sweetness and mild hop bitterness. Very smooth but flavorful enough at the outset. Slight lingering bitterness. Bready
M- The nitro feel is kind of lost in this not only because it's not soft enough but it's also served too cold. The body is also just a bit too light to warrant a nitro serving.
O- A good beer but not something I would recommend be served on nitro be aide of the aforementioned issues.
