Coming down with the worst case of manthrax ever recorded so didn't go to the pub to watch the game. Compromised with a Love & Hate (Vocation Brewery 440ml can, 7.2%) at home, which are currently on offer at £2 a can (down from £3) at my local Tesco.
New England pale ale. Pours like amber milk, extremely hazy. Very hop forward and really hides the strength. Delicious.

Edit: hides manthrax symptoms too.

Just had a bottle of Rekorderlig Mango and Raspberry Cider left over from Xmas. OK to drink but to be honest it wasn't a good flavour combination.

Matcha Green tea.
The most hipster cup at work, picked this up in Japan.

Love that!
Mine is just a glass cup, although i've gone off Matcha recently. Always seems to give me a bad stomach

Tbh I forgot I had it, it just sat in it’s box since I got back over a year ago.
Assorted "Adnams for M&S" craft-ish beers, 330ml cans. Currently reduced to 40p a throw and "4 for the price of 3". I walked out with 12 cans which cost me a total of £3.60.
Only sampled one so-far - the "Earl Grey" one - and whilst it's not very hoppy, it's decent enough. Hopefully the other two will be better (one's a grapefruit thing (IPA?), can't remember what the other one is).
Edit:
Just opened a Grapefruit IPA. There's a hint of hops but it's not going to set the world alight. A bit muddy on the palate, a bit yeasty. Still, for 40p a can I'm not complaining.
Edit2:
The third beer is Blood Orange wheat beer. Of the three, I think this is the one I'd go back for, despite my usual preference for pale ales and IPA's. Very nice. Merry Christmas!

Lucozade, pink lemonade flavour.
WTF have they done to Hobgoblin Gold?
Last time I had one (~5mnths ago) it was mildly hopped with something pleasantly west coast, like cascade or similar. Nothing major but it was there in the background.
Picked some up this evening and they've ramped up the IBU's and swapped the hops out for something trad. It now tastes just like an over-bittered English pale ale.
Ho-hum, I'll struggle through.
