Hemp Ale Update

Wednesday I posted that Nectar Ales has the only Hemp beer.  I was wrong.  I was promptly informed by a reader of O'Fallon Hemp Hop Rye.   This beer is also made with hemp seeds.  A six pack has been obtained and I hope to have a review and a comparison out to you all next week.

#13 of 1001 Hemp Ale by Nectar Ales

Poster From Sampling Event 

Nectar Ales is a Brand of Firestone Walker.  According to the brewery rep who served this at the recent Motley Brews event in Las Vegas, Hemp Ale is the only hemp beer in production.  The ironic thing was as I asked for a sample the rep seemed to be unimpressed with the beer.  I seriously have never tried weed or weed brownies.  The closest comparison for me is the smell of a college roommate.  I can assure you this did not smell like cannabis, but I have no clue on the taste.  The seeds used in brewing this beer lack THC, the intoxicating compound in cannabis.  This beer lacks anything that screams special except that it is one of a kind.

Tasting Note:

Bottle into rinsed sample glass at Motley Brews event.

Malty with some hops.  Clean finish, and remarkably forgettable.
