Golden Crown (Harpers)

Name: Golden Crown
Label: "Golden ale - Brewed with pale biscuit flavour malts and a touch of tropical hop for a fruity finish."
Brewery: Harper's
ABV: 4.1%

Tasting notes: "Exotic hops from around the New World contribute rich aromas of tropical fruits and soft citrus. Look out for passion fruit, plump stone fruits and a touch of gooseberry."

Game: Third Eaglemoss Alien and Predator Collection item is the Special Edition 2: Alien Newborn Figurine.  I thought this was really unpleasant in the film. The figurine is equally as unpleasant which makes it great!

Rating: 9/10

Medusa (Harpers)

Name: Medusa
Label: "Ruby Red Ale - A deep mahogany beer with rich toffee apple and roasted chocolate aromas."
Brewery: Harper's
ABV: 5.0%

Tasting notes: "Chocolate and Toffee give way to a fresh fruity aroma and rich red hues. Dried fruit flavours and a roasted taste blend to produce a balanced bitter-sweet finish."

Game: Eaglemoss Alien and Predator Collection Issue 18 - and this one is doozy! This is 'Grid' from AvP. The grid pattern is when the Predator fires the net over the xeno and it cuts into its head.  Quality stuff, great figurine.

Rating: 8/10

Issue 18: AVP ‘Grid’ Xenomorph Figurine

North Bridge Brown Ale (Harpers)

Name: North Bridge Brown Ale
Label: "A lightly hopped ale, with a sweet chocolate caramel flavour"
Brewery: Harper's Brewing Co
ABV: 4.7%

Tasting notes: "Brown ales are lightly hopped, so the sweet chocolate and caramel flavours of the lightly roasted malts should be front and central on this beer. A rich dark chestnut colour with a creamy richness achieved by brewing with oats."

Game: GamingAles loves figurines and game related collector's editions. Ubisoft do the best ones though. It's official. The detail of the Assassin's Creed range for example is amazing compared to the Batman Arkham Knight collector's edition. This appeared in CEX and just looks like a lump of cheap black plastic roughly resembling the Gotham skyline and Batman. And now we notice the Resident Evil 7 collector's edition doesn't even include the game. What the actual...

Ubisoft rating: 10 levels of detail out of 10.

Wild Bills IPA (Harpers)

Name: Wild Bills IPA
Label: "American IPA - Biscuit and spice balance with big hop citrus fruit aromas."
Brewery: Harper's
ABV: 5.0%

Tasting notes: "Pale ale biscuity malt flavours reinforced by spicy crystal rye malt and a sweet full bodied mouthfeel. Well balanced with big American hop aromas for a peppery lemon zest and tropical citrus fruit hit."

Game: Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection includes all the DLC. So it was with some surprise when I was completely unable to locate the Da Vinci Disappearance missions in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood having played through the main story missions. Being thick does have it downsides it would seem. For others in the same thicky boat, the Da Vinci Disappearance can be found by going to the "Restored Memory" icon on the map which be looking like this:
