Dear Keiths,
your one hop series is an insult to beer and a waste of perfectly good ingredients. The only reason I'm going to finish it is because I paid perfectly good money for it. I would rather gargle a monkey shart. I think that's it... no wait, your mother's fat!
Sincerely,
Me

I was going to try it at the H&T Tuesday but I figured Nash would beat me.

They weren't horrible. Thin, I thought, but at least you could tell the difference between them, and they had some moderate bitterness. I didn't notice any of the standard Keith's taste either. I assuem they were made differently, separate brews, not "doctored" beers.

I noticed the same Keith's taste in the Hallertau version, albeit not as prominently as normal. Definitely agree with thin.

I still have one of each as I'm doing a story for TAPS on big breweries making "craft" beers. Pros and cons. I will also mention the "One Hop" beer trend. If it is a trend...
As always, i'll scan Brewnosers threads to help formulate two sides of the story

Like IPAs in general, it's no trend.

I don't give a fuck what the rest of the Brewnosers say about you, you're a smart man!

Hey zeus, I hope it is no trend. I'm just starting to get an addiction to IPA's.... and of course extra malty beers as well.
I haven't tried one of the Keith's yet, but am looking forward to it all the same.

I agree, actually. It is kind of like labelling wines by the grape. White Burgundy was always Chardonnay before they started putting it on the label, and many beers have always been made with one hop variety. I guess it is good that average consumers are thinking about how different hops can smell/taste differently, which is one thing the 2 Keith's beers I've tried do show, albeit not in as glorious a way it can be shown.
