Four different beers were inside the pack - the Hefeweizen, Citra Blonde Summer Brew, Drifter Pale Ale and Shaddock IPA.
Without a glass in his hotel room, Jeff had to resort to drinking these beers out of the bottle (not at all the prefered way to try new beers - but a beer drinker has gotta do what a beer drinker has gotta do).
He called the Hefewizen "pretty pedestrian" because while yeasty and wheaty, there wasn't much in the way of spice or citrus.
The Citra Blonde Summer brew had a nice smell and taste.
"Citrusy, but there's pineapple and mango as well. Really refreshing," he said. "The tagline, 'Satisfyingly Sessionable' definitely applies."
When it came to the Drifter Pale Ale, he admitted he wasn't expected much, but said it was "very surprising."
"I was expecting a pretty boring beer. But this beer actually has a decent amount of flavour - there's nice caramel from the malts and citrus and tropical fruit from the hops," he said. "It's pretty low on bitterness for those afraid/looking for bitter."
Then came his favourite of the pack, the Shaddock IPA. The hop-head in him just couldn't help but love it.
"This one is brewed with grapefruit peels so there's obviously a lot of grapefruit flavour. I'd say this is my overall favourite - which is likely no surprise."
