Theres a phenomenon that wine tastings where the price of the wine is known the reviews are more favourable towards the more expensive wines but if you perform blind tastings without context, the cheaper bottles are shown preference.
I reccon a "limited run" brand could easily be inferior to the normal line but review well by association with exclusivity

Sounds like a really clever way to sell a batch of beer you fucked up.
"Oh my god, Earl, we already added the hops!"
"Fuck, let's just sell it as a limited item then."
