Commercial Description:
Bottled, Special;
A set of four beers, all made to exactly the same recipe but each beer featuring only one of the 4 different hops which give premium beer their distinct taste and aroma

Bottle that was kindly passed onto me by Craig, consumed in a field at Towersey Festival, Oxon, 31-08-09 Pours gold with a small white head. The aroma was slight and I thought hey this is a touch lagery maybe. Tasted ok but much like the other three this was a fairly boring base beer and the hops were not that easily identifiable, like the Wolf I think I also guessed Saaz for this, to be honest much like the rest of us I did appalingly bad and get 0/4 A5 A3 F5 P3 Ov10 2.6

Bottle, bought @ Cornelius, Edinburgh.
Pours hazy golden with a small, fizzy, white head. Aroma is softly grassy with piney notes. Highish carbonation, a tad thin. Flavour has some notes of cardboard, earthy and grassy hoppiness. I guessed Saaz for this one...

Bottle 330ml. [ As Hop Quiz #2 ].
Clear medium yellow color with a small to average, frothy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, white. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, moderate hoppy, spicy, peppery. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft. My guess was the Saaz. [20090620]

Courtesy of Fonefan. It is hazy golden with a white head. The aroma has notes of citrus, earth/straw and berries. The flavour has a light sweetness and notes of grain, citrus, berries, earth/straw and the bitterness is OK.

Bottled@Fonefan. Hazy golden colour, not much head. Aroma is grassy, earthy and a bit fruity. The flavour follows the same concept. My guess was the Saaz...
