I got it in Deveney's Dundrum today. They're selling as single bottles for 4 euro each.

Picked up the 2013 edition last week.

The only hop variety I recognised was Goldings.

Tried that first as was curious what a delicate English hop would be like in an American strength IPA. It works for me.

I see from another thread that the 2012 was criticised for being too bitter but this year the bitterness seems about right.

Had it myself last weekend. Interesting collection this year. Goldings was so boring compare to he others but that didn't make the others better.

"Interesting" is being v kind Reuben! Especially seeing as the price has gone up by a couple of quid this year!

Although I'd say the set is worth getting purely to see how oddly disgusting Dana is as a hop: my notes include the words garlic, damp moss, soil, and vegetables - YUM.

Dana was odd, and El Dorado was not as bright and fruity as I'd heard.

Waimea, though, was yummy NZ goodness.

Dana tasted of blackberry to me.

While none were amazing, I've appreciated them all. Fair play to Brew dog, at least they give us something to talk about.
