Odell Harvest Hemp Lager

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

Odell's Harvest Hemp Lager was available at the brewery on one of their rotating pilot taps. I think it was around 6.2 % ABV. The description said that it was orignally intended to be an Oktoberfest, but it was late and they used darker malts. I got this from the brewery yesterday in a growler and didn't get a chance to try it until today, so it may not have been as fresh as possible. It poured a dark brown with ruby highlights, and had almost no head and very little carbonation (maybe due to being a day old?). It had a nice aroma of roasted malts with a touch of sweet chocolate. It's taste was exactly what you would expect from the smell...a sweetish roasted malty taste (that became more pronounced as it warmed), with a little bitter aftertaste that was not really hoppy though. It tasted a little watery, but was very drinkable nonetheless. Overall, it reminded me of a slightly weak porter, not very lagery at all. I would definitely drink this again, hopefully try it fresher.
