I bet you can guess what that purple guess in my first try was…

That's what I get for being impatient and not wanting to work on other colors 😅

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Haha ouch man. That's why I try to solve the whole puzzle before entering any results!

[–] Cris_Color 4 points 11 hours ago

Yeah, I was a little spaced out and took a gamble on another guess at which ones were yellow cause I didn't wanna use my brain and solve more of the puzzle 😅

Mild snark

With an English breakfast staple, English ale, Irish lager, and an Italian lager in the clues today, I'm excited to see what people can grouse about since "The NY newspaper game is too US-centric" is off the table.

An easy one today, but only because I was able to get purple as the leftovers. It would be 3/5 if there was even the slightest hint of a reasonableness problem in the other three colours, but thankfully there wasn't, so 4/5.

Spoilers purple

I have never heard of a beer brand called "Harp" or "Oharp" or whatever it is. Nor of "Bass"/"Abass"/"Rabass". Bud is a purely domestic American brand, albeit one that's very famous through popular culture. Peroni is the only one I would really say I actually know.

Purple

Harp is an Irish lager. Bass is an English ale.

I'm sorry but purple is utter crap today. Yellow also being a bit strange.
