(y'all do know what Zymurgy means, don't you?)
Urp-date: Yeah, it's got a fairly high alcohol content. One is plenty, and I wouldn't try drinking more than four "unless you are a 30-ton elephant with bronchial pnuemonia".

Zymurgian's latest IPA
Oh my! To celebrate the 4th, Zymurgian has broken out his latest batch of IPA. Damn, but it's worthy of him. Hoppy, but with a clean finish. Full body, good head, and (I'm pretty sure-ask me in an hour) high ETOH content. Not a beer for the faint of heart, but if you're a fan of big beers this one's impressive. Wish that you readers could stop by and try one. Thanks, Zymurgian.

Hemp beer would be interesting, I think.
Generally, I experiment with brewing styles, rather than attempt to clone. So this latest batch of homebrew is a cross between a Scottish Wee Heavy and an American IPA.
I'm finding it okay (own worse critic, of course)Why i don't think it's way boss is a matter of climate.
I anticipated this, and did my best to "trick" Scottish ale yeast into thinking they weren't flocculating in a 7000ft desert by various means. Nevertheless, the ambient temperature of this house is 30 degrees warmer than dank, damp, misty Pictland. So the lads overattenuated a bit, I think. Higher, "fusel" alcohols are slightly evident, when they would have been inhibited under British climactic conditions.
Right Pygalgia- she sure is an ass-kicker, though. Sure to make Budlight types run away screaming. Glad you like it!
To be fair, I am impressed this batch turned out as well as it did . Not exactly an ale for heatwave conditions. Good for our cool evenings, though. Also pleased to say this was brewed with the dormant yeast cake from a previous batch- succesfully kept healthy and sanitary, which can be tricky.
Whig- cannibinols are way closely related to the hop oils cumulone and humulone, but the omega 3 acids in hemp oils make for a very flat, greasy ale, unless you wait six months or so for it to break down. "Hemp" and beer do go great together, if in a different propensity!
I have had a really good hemp beer, but that's not legal. Not that it's ever stopped me before.
