The "Fumisterie" is an amber beer with a golden hue. It has a thick head which sticks to the glass. This Hemp Ale has a light malt aroma intertwined with a touch of hazelnut. The fullness of the beer is complemented by the taste of malts and a light sweet savour. The hemp flavour is revealed by a delicate essence of smoked hazelnut while the flavour of the hops arises softly in the aftertaste.

[1] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (10/10/2007 12:37:50 PM)
"Bottle: Poured a medium amber color ale with a nice foamy head with medium retention. Aroma of herb and dry malt characteristics. Taste consists of herb and malt with a dry ending. Body is about average with some good carbonation. I have to admit that this one left me on my appetite and didn’t make a big impression on my taste buds. This brewery has definitely some better beers to offer."

[2] Review by pootz from between Calgary and Waterloo, Canada who has tried this beer once. (10/4/2007 7:37:13 PM)
"Shimmering deep amber with a fine-pored sticky cap ....good retention and lace.
Aroma is demure but interesting...musty honey, leafy botanicals and woodsy earthiness.
Taste is much different than it smells...not at all sweet...big glutinous amber malts in the front are instantly balanced by a medicinal bitter-herb infusion, woodyness, some leafy tastes....finish is clean and dry with the hemp providing a spicy bitterness.
Ragged mouth feel, medium body spicey-bitter character.Very clean tasty beer...more like a rich ESB than an amber."

[4] Review by willblake from Brick, NJ, USA who has tried this beer (1/18/2006 8:05:22 PM)
"07.11.05 Tap at brewpub. Deep golden color; sticky head at first, fades to little. Tart sweet. Some caramel, then more caramel. Herbal touches, nuts, wheat germ. Pretty one-dimensional and disappointing."

[5] Review by Chopz from Cantley, Canada who has tried this beer once. (10/12/2005 7:48:36 PM)
"Sampled at the brewpub, in company of S8n on September 17, 2005. This red hemp ale pours a beautiful cream white head with good retention, leaving a nice creamy coat. Its colour is golden-amber and red. The lacing left is great. The aromas are of hop and alcohol, but not too strong. Mild creamy and dry mouthfeel, and quite smooth. Good bitterness in the taste, throughout, with slight grain malt and a dry finish. Nice bitter red ale."
