Taylor's Tipple (Hambleton)

Name: Taylor's Tipple
Label: "Nick Stafford's Hambleton Ales - Legend of the White Horse"
Brewery: Hambleton Ales
ABV: 4.5%

Rating: "A chestnut coloured ale with an uplifting citrus and berry aroma, balanced by a malty depth of flavour evoking the Yorkshire Wolds on which the barley is grown."

Game: Finished Max Payne 3's single player campaign and then started it again straight away on the harder difficulty setting with "Free Aim". This makes it considerably more difficult as you might suspect. It's been a while since I restarted the same game straight away rather than trading it straight away. Therefore that shows that I like this game. A lot. This post has mostly been about me stating obvious things. Bye.

Yorkshire Best Bitter (Hambleton)

Name: Yorkshire Best Bitter
Label: "Malty with a nutty character & dry finish - this has a malty character with a hint of nuttiness from the crystal and roasted barley. Balanced with both Northdown and First Goldings Hops this ale is a true Yorkshire Bitter"
Brewery: Hambleton Ales (brewed for Marks & Spencer)
ABV: 4.3%

Rating: It's got a picture of cricket on the label. I don't like cricket, oh no. I love beer, oh yeah. I don't like that song, oh no.

Game: Currently playing Transformers: War for Cybertron. It's been a bit stop start though and played mainly during breaks from Dead Island before I'd finished that, and now because I'm genuinely too scared to put Dark Souls on. I'm giving T:WfC 7 out of 10. The missions are pretty dull irrespective of what faction you play as; shoot some enemies, press a button to open door / activate lift, shoot at bigger enemy and so on. The visuals are great though, if a little samey - it's all on Cybertron you see (which is a big metal planet) but the environments are vast, complete with awesome looking cityscapes. The story is what lifts the experience, getting to play as Optimus before he becomes a 'Prime' and seeing Iacon, the Autobot's capital city. Playing as Megatron as he tries to control a wayward Starscream before officially becoming leader of the Decepticons. It's all good stuff if you have even a passing interest in the subject matter. Energon cube, anyone?
