Surrey Nirvana (Hogs Back)

Name: Surrey Nirvana
Label: "Hoppy and Golden - Enlighten Yourself - A drier, golden brew with cascade, centennial and local Surrey fuggles hops"
Brewery: Hogs Back
ABV: 4.0%

Tasting notes: "We've designed Surrey Nirvana to release the bad karma and achieve that perfect state of mind. Brewed with Centennial, Cascade and Fuggles hops to give strong citrus and floral notes on the nose. It is light in body and well-balanced, with delightful mellow citrus flavours. This beer showcases the wonderful aromatic character that can be achieved by late hopping."

Game: Great news! XCOM 2 is getting an Xbox One release! After the utter dismayment of it only releasing on PC originally, this is mega news. Roll on 6th September 2016. I definitely know what to ask Father Birthday for now!  News rating: 9 aliens out of 10.

Urban IPA (Tiny Rebel)

Name: Urban IPA
Label: "Intercontinental Pale Ale"
Brewery: Tiny Rebel
ABV: 5.5%

Tasting notes: "A carefully crafted intercontinental blend of hops and malt helps us take traditional IPAs to the next level with Urban IPA. Bored with soulless IPAs? Then it's time to go URBAN."

Game: Just gone to pre-order XCOM 2 as it's out next week! Quick! Get on Amazon you fool! Hang on a minute *nervous laugh*, can't... seem... to see it for Xbox One. Maybe Amazon have gone a bit mad and aren't stocking it! Yes, that'll be it. Quick switch over to the Game site. Nope. Google time. What the fff.... it's not even out on consoles! Firaxis what the hell are you playing at? XCOM was awesome on Xbox 360! XCOM 2 next-gen gets a GamingAles first: 0/10. Now get your act together and get making it for consoles, don't make me leave this review as 0/10!
