Hop Thief 8

Brewer: Malt Shovel Brewery  (website)

Type of beer: American Pale Ale
ABV: 5.0 %    IBU: 35

Consumed at Melbourne, Australia on December 10th, 2017.

Brewer’s Blurb:
By hook or by crook, James Squire always found a way to source the finest hops available for his flavoursome ales. Sometimes this resulted in a good lashing and other times in a handsome reward, but always in a good story to tell with a great-tasting beer.

Michael’s Notes:
I didn't like this beer one bit. So much that I tried to avoid any other James Squire beers from that point on. I didn't hate it, but I had it in my mind to say "well, that was disappointing, I should avoid this brewery and focus on other, smaller beer manufacturers". Which I did.
