3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 beer_rookie (189) - Arkansas, USA - AUG 31, 2015
Pours an amber (of course) color. No head. No lacing. No nothing. Its a little cloudy, but otherwise, its boring.
Aroma however is pretty robust. Lots of caramel and toffee. Maybe some earthy aroma. Its also a little bready, and roasted nuts.
Taste is also pretty robust, Theres a lot going on here. Sure, theres something going on with the malts, Im guessing its the rye. The earthy and nutty that I smelled in the aroma, must be the hemp. Its a little odd, its a little different. I might even say its a little weird. But its not bad. Its also a little spicy, white pepper maybe?
Mouthfeel is a little heavy. Im guessing its a medium bodied beer. Its a little spicy, not bitter really, but spicy. Its complex on the palate, but it works well, its fun to try to decipher. Its odd, and its interesting. But it works. The final finish on it is earthy, maybe even piney.
Overall, I am a little surprised by this. Its a little better than I expected. Except for the pour, it really does well. Its complex, some reviews say that its too much for a beer, but I think it does well.

On tap at ofallon brewery. Aroma of toasted seeds and a slight amount of rye and hops. Just a little spicy. Very nice looking dark amber color with a small fluffy white head. Taste is very hoppy up front with a smoky toasted character to it. The smoke is not overdone; this is still refreshing. Pretty good but I think I liked it better out of the bottle.

12 oz bottle from Giant Eagle in Pittsburgh. I liked it despite the low ratings. For me it was crisp and refreshing and had a unique hop taste that was rare in these low shelf beers. Try it for yourself.

This draft brew from a beer bar poured a small sized head of foamy white colored bubbles that were and left behind a uncarbonated slightly hazy light brown colored body. The mild aroma was musty. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish with a bitter malty aftertaste. The ok flavor contained notes of bitter mild nut mild astringency and brown malt. An OK brew just nothing special.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 ttutony (790) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - JUL 18, 2015
Medium brown with minimal head. Hazy in appearance. Aroma of sweet caramel malt and a bit of spice. Where this beer stands out is the exceptional balance they have achieved. The malt profile is complex but not too heavy or overdone, and the hops add seasoning without overpowering. Interesting to read of the addition of hemp seeds, not sure of their overall contribution but this beer is a solid offering nonetheless.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20 dmac (4858) - Toms River, New Jersey, USA - JUL 3, 2015
12 oz bottle from Joe Canals Fire Rd. Poured a good looking orangey/amber with an average sized creamy super light beige head. Aroma is really lacking and weak, what is there is like a combo of powdered milk, nuts and grains. Medium body, soft smooth carbonation, quick fading aftertaste. Flavor is similar to the aroma but not as muted. Overall its a meh and reminds me of an English ESB.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 EithCubes (5269) - New Jersey, USA - JUN 1, 2015
Bottle, confounded screw-top. Nose is grainy with a distinct raspberry overtone, though that might just be might long experience with razz-wheats; theres wheat, rye, light citrus, malt. Pours hazy amber-red with some significant brown mitigation, head is soapy beige leaning to tan. Taste sweet but not cloying, light bitterness, lightly oily and boozy but also soft rather than fizzy; touch of spicy kick but not hot or aggressive. I really like the citrus and fruit here, simply nothing like the normal output from these hops, and theres a great caramel-dough maltiness in the fullish body, balance all around. Flavorful and quite pleasant!

Bottle; poured a glowing orange amber color. Aroma of ripe fruit, rotty funk, and wort. Pretty sweet flavor; fruity with some mellow earthy spice. Better flavor than aroma
