Bought a few sets of these when they came out, and played the game a few times, must have been Christmas ’09. Nice idea, although the base beer wasn’t that exciting, there were obvious differences between the four beers. Not obvious enough for me to get any of them right, mind you.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of straw, and malt, as well as lighter notes of honey and dust. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, and dusty hops as well as a bit of bread, leading to a bitter finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Bottle that was kindly passed onto me by Craig, consumed in a field at Towersey Festival, Oxon, 31-08-09 Pours gold with a medium white head. Another of this foursome with an aroma that was sadly lacking and made for difficult guesswork. I detected some tropical fruits in this one which was rather a shame as none of the four hops should have had anything like that going on in reality. The beer itself tasted ok, reasonable bitterness, with the same sweetness as the others though this was tempered a little more so this time by that bitterness. Not that impressive and another failure on Fins part to identify the hop I guessed Styrian on the basis that there was no hop that actually semed to link in with what I detected, as already mentioned I got a grand 0/4 A6 A3 F6 P3 Ov12 3.0
