According to him, it came out tasting like a somewhat below average lightly carbonated beer, with little bitterness without any hops. I think he did it mostly as an interesting experiment.

Thanks. I really didn't want to search through 37 minutes for this statement.

I don't mean to sound dismissive though; I'd love me some nettle beer with hops.

All that said, most leaves get more bitter as they grow, i.e. more towards the end of the season. Hmmm...
