So it's an all natural beer that incorporates hemp into the brewing process. I couldn't detect any bitterness that's typical of brown ales, but there isn't a lot of flavor either. As far as the hemp goes, initially I couldn't taste anything but with further consumption I became aware of a tiny bit of sweetness. Overall, hemp's role in the brew appears relatively unsubstantial. Kinda disappointing, I was hoping for something inspired. All in all, a pretty generic brown ale. I'd drink it again if someone else was paying. Rating: ARMAGEDDON.

Exploring Hemp Beer: Humboldt Brown Ale
The first entry into the hemp beer division and personally my first, I was pretty curious about Humboldt Brown Ale. It's made by Nectar Ales and is apparently only available in CA due to hemp restrictions. Go figure.
