Humboldt Brown Hemp Ale

The Beer Stats:
  • Beer Name: Humboldt Brown
  • Brewery: Nectar Ales (California)
  • Style: Brown Ale
  • ABV: 5.7%
  • IBU: 30
  • Pour Color: Dark brown but lets a little light through.




     It had a sweet toffee scent off the glass. The head came up quickly and was fluffy. The taste has a slightly nutty taste. The over whelming taste though is a sweet caramel malt. On the swallow you get a nice bitter grassy taste. Maybe that's the kick of the hemp. The flavors on this one is really good but the body is actually lighter then most brown ales I've had. Light passed through this one easy and gave it almost a red ale look. 
      This one was labeled hemp ale on the side of the six of this.  The hemp factor didn't really give me much of a difference on taste then most brown ales. The did give this one a sweeter flavor then most browns I've tasted. However this is the first brown ale I've had that claimed to be all natural. Can't complain about that, and it won't be the last time I have a Nectar Ales product. Hope the face grabs another soon.
