Draught@Market Porter. Hazy gold, low head. Flowery aroma, light nutty notes. Fine balance on the palate, does not have the herbal notes of other hemp beers.Medium chewy body, light sparkles. Apricot aftertaste.

Bottled. A hazy orange beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet mlaty with primary notes of caramel, but also lighter notes of spices and fruit. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of fruit, leading to a dry wheaty end.

(Cask at GBBF, London, 9 Aug 2007) Pale golden yellow colour, hazy, with white head. Fruity nose with citrus, wheat-four dough and yellow plums. Fruity taste with notes of wheat-flour dough, floral hops with citrussy notes in the finish. Initially sweet, but turns drier towards the end. A bit soapy, easy to drink. Fairly good shot at the style.

Cask gravity at Ashford Rugby Club BF 2007. Gold with thin bubbly off white head. Odd lambic aroma. Farm yard. OK in mouth. A bit of a cross between a blond ale and a mild lambic. Bizarre.
