Hopefully I can buy you a beer next time I'm down in Oxfordshire. Mark - I wonder if there were no restrictions, would the beers reflect people's actual personality or one they wished to project? (Maybe we're reading too much into #beerswap!?!?!) Andrew – great choices, the one thing I forgot to say was which I preferred, and I’d have to say Marshmellow I think.

Mark – I wonder if there were no restrictions, would the beers reflect people’s actual personality or one they wished to project? (Maybe we’re reading too much into #beerswap!?!?!)

Good choices. It's fun reading these beer swap posts and seeing what people send and what the receivers think of them. As for Sam's thoughts about the beers reflecting the sender's personality... I think it's a very interesting idea. It'd be even more interesting to see what four bottles someone would send if there were no restrictions on locale!

Anyway glad you enjoyed the beers; they were chosen totally at random from the local brewers I can assure you. not sure if i have a sticky aroma, or if I harbour a deep routed bitterness but I’m happy with slightly fruity and fresh (after a drink or two) and mellow and autumnal!
