Brown in color with a somewhat purple tint. Good, lasting head. Smells more or less like you expect a brown ale too, but earthier. Taste is malty, with enough hops to balance and an herbal finish that I'd imagine can be attributed to the hemp. I was getting some citrusy hops notes, but I was told they use E.K. Goldings. Not bad. Mouthfeel is fine. Above average drinkability. The novelty makes it worth ordering, otherwise probably a pass.

This is a brown ale, but it's called "Wildman Steve's Hemp Ale" because that's the local hippie celebrity, and I suppose it's gimmicky to put hemp in a beer.

This looks like your average brown ale, maybe a little darker. Smells kind of nutty.


Taste - What you'd initially expect from a brown ale - nutty and malty. But the finish is quite a bit hoppier, and kind of twangy. I guess that's from the hemp. I know there's some chinook hops here. Pretty tasty.
