like a log I am or Pilsner is a technical term right this has got really fruity smell to it I get each of Annapolis yes and this doesn't really have any aroma trip so I'm guessing that this is just the cheap it from smell so how about I won't agree with how we're saying that this one a is the expensive one and I'm not even gonna bother tasting it could be that confident with our nasal it howdy it's a European idea and they were very cocky before I think we can buy just the color of the beer without tasting any okay are you sure right off the bat I'm gonna say this is a strong beer no this one looks more Marty yeah we're not even gonna tell ya this is Lee you are annoyingly correct I'm gonna guess right

away this is the lowest one and this is the highest you're sure yeah listen we're gonna be confident this is the lower this is you are correct oh yeah tall inky bastards you are correct the question for this one is in your hands you have to doubt beers of two different brands the question is which one do you think is the cheapest you let me feel secure with home in Chicago middle names all just cut the catalyzer they look like stout so reporters when you smell have roasted malt I believe yeah roasted most adult kiss for the Queen yeah the foam was also a little thicker on this yeah if you look at the fireman look at that's a quality funny

thing it's gonna be difficult to guess the a is where you want to confirm again we got palate cleanser make you decision based on that we say a is the cheap one you are correct all right we have made a decision difficult oh yes you are obnoxiously correct you are correct okay things are getting serious it's time for round three which one of these is an apple cider one of them is an apple beer and one of them is an apple cider so which one is the apple cider there's another Drive in the locker here that smells like being done on Friday night in the bottle of Lambrini you guys know what Lambrini is Canadians even know what a growers isn't in disgusting

this one's really sweet yeah really see mrs. Shay we're gonna say hey the fighter you are wrong no not I'm joking you're correct this is harder than I thought you know the only thing I can say it's like they could both beside it at first I was like that has to be the beer this has to be the butane hash this is my side here try this one more time I think that's alright I'm trusting you yeah for the Queen it's country time Commonwealth over comment well this is the cider you are correcting I'm sorry you are correct oh yeah this is the fourth round and the final and also the most important rounds that's call boys your challenge is to taste these four beers and one cider basically just match the drink to it's correct brand if

you get all four correct you will get three points if you get one wrong you get a big fat zero good luck okay last round we got this map we actually got a unfair advantage you know why because an indie here is a professional pisshead and humble brave he's been drinking these three so how many is not long enough and I've been drinking lion consistently now for the last week here in Colombo so I reckon we've got this covered should we give ourselves a challenge I challenge us saying that self this is my science done 30 seconds are we correct you sure incorrect even subscribe right now well you got one we go one but we need you won't stop bragging about it the next couple of weeks let us know is this the right combination incorrect these two they

both got it wrong so winner takes all I'll tell you what we're not gonna do guess all of this is 30 seconds this one is the cider try it see in between here because I think it's one of these it could be anything at this place do you have like a color comparison where we compare the corona color but it could be should we go with that please go with it I'm going with it you got a completely correct my great pleasure to give you this prize but it's only for a year next year we get a chance to get it back so enjoy it while it lasts hold it up: I will give this to you so that you can hang it up in your I know but remember us forever actually I forgot that you did win our second prize guys you've won a bottle of
