It was very light in body, and not very complex other than having enjoyable herbal bitterness: http://www.flickr.com/photos/plastron/1280637677/in/set-72157601595326579/ On a recent visit to Pivovarsky Dum in Prague, I tried their nettle beer, although I cannot say whether it was brewed with nettles or if there was a flavoring added.

They're the ones which persist after pouring half a garden-centre's-worth of weedkiller on the shrubbery. I like the sound of the Stinger, though. I'll be looking out for it.

I found this beer pleasant enough but I´m not sure I could taste nettle. That said, my only experience of nettle is a soup we cooked once that was probably more mud than nettle... great research as usual. You´re going to get some cool Google searches!
