Wicked Weed "Dr. Dank" IPA

I assume someone has already done the joke about this beer needing to have gone through four years of dank school in order to be a doctor. The claim on the can is that this has been brewed with hemp seeds. In fact, they don't even bother to tell me what kind of hops or malt a were involved in the creation of the beer. Maybe the dank will be just a complementing flavor that sits atop a delightful beverage, and this is going to work out very well. I certainly hope that is the case.

The delightfully golden beer has a very nice, relatively sticky head of off-white bubbles that hangs around for a while and leaves trace amounts of lacing in its wake. The complete covering across the top of the beer with the strong ring around the sides is exactly what I want to see on this beer. The aroma is possibly too dank. It is probably too dank. It is definitely too dank. I can't smell anything underneath the dankness of hemp, and it's not my thing. If you're thing is dankness, this may be for you. I hope you enjoy this in your sour coffee hemp stout. For me, dank is supposed to be a contributing factor at times, but it's not supposed to be a main feature. I wonder if it will come through in the sip.

Fist sip is not nearly as dank as the smell, but it's clearly still too dank. And it's not just the dankness in the sip, but the fact that the dank is the only thing that holds on after the beer is gone. It holds on for a while. After I sipped, I went into the next room, checked on my dogs, spoke briefly to the spouse, and then came back in, and it's still the overwhelming taste in my mouth. There's no need to do this to myself any further. 

Bottom Line: I am not elevated enough to enjoy this beverage.
