Poured from a 345mL stubble
Look - a medium ale golden colour and poured with a perfect frothy head
Taste/Feel - Almost pops on the tongue, with a fizzy feel, and a strong hop taste is very smooth and easy to drink

Appearance - Pours a golden clear colour and filtered. Head starts off as full white and 2 finger head which dissipates to a thin film quite quickly. Little lacing. Lightly carbonated.
Smell - Starts sweet with a hint of honey and mollasses. Floral and tropical notes - passionfruit, peach, mandarin. A little bit subtle.
Taste - Starts with a sweet tropical hit of that passionfruit on the nose, honeydew, citrus in the middle and a hoppy grapefruit bite and mandarin. Not much more complex than that, and the flavours have a moderate impact.
Mouthfeel - Mild fizz like pins and needles which are slightly numbing, mid-light body, medium oil and foam when swirled, clean and refreshing.
Overall - A solid and reliable brew. Doesn't break the bank, you can do much worse for the money, and is a drinkable staple in the fridge. Good tropical flavours and quite sessionable. Standout value, even if it's not the boldest flavoured beer, although previous iterations of the Hop Thief have been more exciting.
