Une bière au chanvre à double fermentation ! Cette bière possède une couleur légèrement cuivrée et un voile de mousse. Son nez est évidemment herbacé, comme de la paille humide. Le chanvre apparaît dans un deuxième temps puis les petits pois et les fèves pointent. En bouche, le goût tire sur l’artichaut et la menthe. C’est une bière peu pétillante mais très intéressante car à la fois végétale et fumée.

Bottle from Terre de Boissons Calais and drunk on a train pours hazy pale gold with a lasting white head. Yeasty biere de garde with some cereal flavour. Some sweetness in the mouth some dryness and bitterness on the finish. Yes fine enough. So.e citrus hop. Some yeast ester. Fine.

I seem to be bumping into hemp ales all over the place here recently... Pours foggy orange with almost no head at all. Notes of grass, malt, alcohol. Taste is of corn and grain with a grassy aftertaste. Quite watery. Just unappealing all around.

Bottle at Le Sous Bock, Paris
Cloudy light amber color; poor head. It’s a very simple Ale, dry, with a spicy touch, and very light bitter oranges; the aroma is quite poor, the flavor acceptable.

33 cL bottle. Pours muddy brown/orange with a crispy white head, disappearing rapidly and leaving little lacework. Slight acidic yeast aroma with a caramel note. Acidic/bitter flavour with some malt base. Bitter/sour finish. Not good.

(Bottle 33 cl) Bronze coloured, slightly hazy with a huge sediment, pretty much without any head. Very wonderfully spicy from the hemp, malty and slightly sweet. Unusual but recommended. I do indeed like these hemp beers. Organic. 150403

A hazy dark orange beer with a fast disappearing head. The aroma is strong spicy and dry with notes of spruce. The flavor is slightly sour with notes of hemp, grass, fruits, red currant, and spruce, before a very dry end sets in.

Bottled. Cloudy amber. Fruity tobacco aroma. Sweet, malt and mild. A lot of nutty hemp in the finish.
