I'm drinking a cream ale I brewed a few weeks ago, using Columbus hops. (1/2 oz to 4 gallons) It tastes okay, but if I sniff it I smell skunk; it's not strong but it's definitely there. The beer is not light-struck. Is that the "dank" everyone goes on and on about? (I've never tried pot, so I have nothing to compare on that front) I suppose it could be worse, it could smell like cat piss.
