Approximately 3 ounce sample pour (in a plastic oversized shot glass) at the brewpub in Parkersburg, West Virginia. The pour is a lightly hazed golden, with a smallish egg white head. The aroma is caramel, along with a touch of apple fruit sweet, maybe some herbal. Unique nose. The taste has the strange bite, herbal fruit, maybe even pepper, I suppose that’s the hemp. A toasted malt carries the beer, nicely highlighting the odd spice herbal character (hemp?). The palate is light bodied, soft carbonation, and a nice dry mineral finish. Not sure I love hemp in beer, but this did a nice job highlighting it.
