Hop & Hemp - Easy Times IPA
As the brewery name suggests, this IPA is created using malts (Pale and Munich), hops (Citra, Mosaic and Cascade) and CBD (Cannabidiol). The beer is vegan. The 0.5% ABV is achieved by means of the brewing process, rather than by dealcoholisation. The body is a golden colour and the modest topping is a light beige. The aromas are fruity with a touch of sweetness; think citrus, passion fruit and caramel. The taste is similarly of fresh fruits and the beer has a decent mouthfeel, if a touch gassy. The aftertaste is crisp, with no strong hemp taste. There is insufficient evidence to declare CBD to be a health benefit, but this is certainly an enjoyable IPA.
