Spindrift (Adnams)

Spindrift (Adnams)
Name: Spindrift
Label: "Refreshing English beer from the coast - Full of flavour with a touch of wheat to make it sparkle, a Speciality beer from our own Suffolk shores. Spindrift, with its bright, crisp taste, evokes images of sea spray blown off a cresting wave."
Brewery: Adnams
ABV: 5.0%

Rating: This beer is dry and crisp with aromas of tropical fruits.  Every facet of Spindrift is refreshing, from the name to the colour of the bottle!

Game: Been back on Mortal Kombat with a vengeance recently. Played through the game with each of the 27 characters unlocking achievements for fatalities, throws and X-ray moves used for all characters. The only question now is whether to invest in the downloadable content. Four new characters for a bargain 300 Microsoft points each (with the online pass thing). One of the characters is Freddy Krueger. Not sure what Freddy Krueger has got to do with the Mortal Kombat universe but some slashy knifey gloved moves and fatalities can't be anything other than awesome, right?

The Leveller (Springhead)

The Leveller
Name: The Leveller
Label: "An agreement of the people - Dark in colour, with an intense burnt toffee finish - Brewed in Robin Hood country"
Brewery: Springhead Brewery
ABV: 4.8%

Rating: Brewed with traditional English ingredients but in the style of Belgian Trappist beers. I would like to drink this all day, deeee-lish!

Game: Just been playing probably the best fighting game ever to grace a console. Mortal Kombat!  It boasts super-duper graphics, fantastic backdrops and a wealth of content. It's actually got a great storyline too and the fighting is really accessible, even for those with sausage-like fingers.  My only complaint so far is that I pre-ordered it from Game and received some bonus DLC codes, all of which do not work.  Mildly annoyed face.
