It's been a big weekend of wrenching on the Warwagon, travelling all over town for various bits and pieces and throwing some weights around in the backyard. Ultimately, a good weekend.
So would a Hop Theif keep that happy productive buzz going or leave me with a bitter taste, similar to when a real Theif comes round and helps themselves to your extensive tool collection? Let's find out!
Initial thoughts: In the last few weeks we've had a few beers with flavours that hung around for about as long as any lucky streak I have while playing the pokies. A mouthful of Hop Thief though really carries through and reminds me a lot of the Fig Jam, only with less fruit and overall sweetness. It's mostly hops with a couple of subtle flavours but the mix is good. The hoppiness is at a great level and it's insanely drinkable right out the fridge. This beer is a nice bronze colour with light carbonation and the head hangs around for a few moments to see what's going on. Can't smell much other than the hops but that's hardly a complaint.
Overall: After beers like this one I'm thinking that I might have to include a disappointment scale...based on how disappointed I was at the time having only bought one beer. And tonight I was very miffed that there was only one of these in the fridge. Flavorful, easily repeatable and a terrific beer to enjoy after what's been a busy weekend. Top job Jimmy S!
