4.0 out of 5 stars I Feel Hoppy, Oh So Hoppy, July 5, 2011

This review is from: Beer Tasting and Hops Appreciation Kit

I recently celebrated my first year anniversary -- of being an Amazon reviewer. A special occasion like this deserves a special celebration, so I wanted to do more than just crack open a six-pack and get woozy on my living room couch.

I wanted to crack open a six-pack and get woozy on my living room couch in STYLE. So I tried learning about beer appreciation that went beyond the cost of a case and the color on the cans.

My favorite part of beer is the hops, so I figured this kit would be a dream. I'd be transported -- as though some bottle-fermented Calgon had taken me away -- to the Bavarian highlands, or sunny California, or whereever else hops are grown and harvested. Tahiti? Poughkeepsie? Outer Mongolia? That's why I needed the kit.

Sadly, it appears to be the brewing process that renders hops so delicious. The hops included in this kit are earthy, bitter, grassy and have no business accompanying a nice cheese pizza or plate of hot wings. You'd have thought I'd learned my lesson after the disaster tasting Live Cultured Yeasts of the World a few years back, but no. I bought this kit, too.

On the bright side, I do think it's developed my palate. If ever there's a danger of lemon-soaked sweatsocks contaminating the world's escarole supply, I'll be able to tell what's been tainted. Just don't ask me to boil it down and chug the juice over a plate of bratwurst. I'd sooner go back to the yeast.
