White Lady (Cairngorm)

Name: White Lady
Label: "A crystal wheat beer - Brewed in the Highlands of Scotland"
Brewery: Cairngorm
ABV: 4.7%

Rating: "Bavarian style wheat beer, with additional hints of roast malt for colour. Brewed with orange peel and coriander to give fruit flavours with a hint of spice." It also says on the label to respect alcohol. I respect it by trying to drink it all of the time (in moderation of course).

Game: Made it back alive from Eurogamer Expo 2012! It was absolutely brilliant, its a pity we didn't buy tickets for the whole weekend!  Such a turnaround of feeling apprehensive three days ago, to now already trying to plan for Eurogamer 2013!

Black Gold (Cairngorm)

Name: Black Gold
Label: "Silver medal, winter beer of Scotland 2007/8 - Champion beer of Scotland 2005"
Brewery: Cairngorm
ABV: 4.4%

Rating: Not a bottled ale this time.  I went to a "pub" and bought some ale, we should be supporting the pubs. In this case it was a Wetherspoons - some people like to pronounce it Witherspoons for some reason. I have no idea why... Anyway, the ale - a Scottish stout with a wonderful rich dark colour. A smooth full bodied beer with subtle bitterness giving way to late sweetness and underlying roast barley hints.

Game: Some games are criminally underrated and some are criminally overrated. Yes it should definitely be a criminal offence to underrate or overrate games.  Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is definitely one of those underrated games. I've previously given it a 9 out of 10 and stand by the rating after finishing it. Buy it. Its great.
