Hummingbird (Young's)

Hummingbird (Youngs)
Name: Hummingbird
Label: "Delightfully aromatic refreshing golden beer with tropical notes"
Brewery: Young's
ABV: 4.2%

Tasting notes: "Hummingbird is an exciting addition to the Young's bottle range following its popularity as a seasonal cask ale. A golden ale with a refreshing tropical hint, Hummingbird brings something a little bit different which we are sure you'll love."

Game: If you like Transformers then you should definitely get Transformers Devastation. It's a quality brawler and totally faithful to the original cartoon! It's a game that transforms into a big bucket of nostalgia. But not the type of nostalgia where you think, 'Ahh... this was actually a bit shit.'  Instead, it's the type of nostalgia where you think, 'YEAH, THIS IS ACE!'. Then you go out and re-buy all the old toys and contemplate on where you went wrong in life because you still like stuff that you should have grown out of 35 years ago.  8/10

Happy New Year!

Blitzen (Black Sheep)

Blitzen (Black Sheep)
Name: Blitzen
Label: "A collaboration with Blitzen the Reindeer, this beer has Santa's official approval - Ruby Christmas Ale"
Brewery: Black Sheep
ABV: 4.0%

Tasting notes: "This cheeky festive number has been brewed using a blend of Cascade and Goldings hops and a hint of orange peel and muscovado sugar." This beer is great even though I've never heard of muscovado sugar. At first I read it as mucusvader sugar. Must have snot and Star Wars on the mind again.

Game: So while everyone is falling asleep watching shite telly after a gigantic food-fest, I'm sneaking out for a cheeky couple of rounds of Star Wars Battlefront and a go on new addition, Transformers Devastation. Merry Christmas!
