"Bonita edición con información sobre lúpulos, buenas fotografías y cuidado diseño, se nota que los autores son un diseñador y un fotógrafo, algunas descripciones de lúpulos son algo breves, también describe algunos estilos, en una futura edición deberían sumar un profesional bioquímico, ingeniero en alimentos o ingeniero agrónomo para complementar con información más técnica sobre los lúpulos, recomendado para aquellos que están en el rubro cervecero"
