I would get my hopes up in the "enjoy" department.

I wouldn't. But I think that's what you meant.

It probably was brewed with nothing but water, barley and hops. Even back during the Roman Empire, that was the standard...and restricted...list of ingredients.

I'll stick with Weihenstephaner Korbinian or Long Trail Double Bag.

ancient beer didn’t use hops at all.

Maybe you wouldn’t call it beer (”gruit”), but hops weren’t used until middle ages

also was made from mostly barley
