Pugnacious head puffs itβs billowy chest. Egg white and and foamy, with a tea colored translucence. Wave top lacing. Orange blossom and mango with grapevine and toast smells leads to sweet barley malt and tangerine. The mango is strong in the mouth, but not sweet. Tons of lemon oil, lime peel, and sweet grapefruit from the hops come out, but still it shows restraint (literally the earmark of every beer style these folks make) and balance. It is fruity, but never steers far from the earthy realm of beer. Opening and closing within the canon, and doing so with an ingredient far from its shores. Great work! Great Scot! .

Innis and Gunn - Passionfruit pale ale.
This cheeky little number is sunshine π in a can- think palm trees, white sandy beaches and blue skies rolled into a refreshing exotic flavour.
A pale ale brimming with tropical character. π

Blackest coffee color, no dome, no lacing. Slight gunflint, dark roast coffee, peppercorn, poppyseed, smoky papaya seed covered in sweet pulp, with baked plum aromas. Dark toast with steely-graphite, rosemary-coffee, espresso, coffee rye, camomile, dark toffee and pecan afterthought. The brilliant thing about this beer is its reluctance to lean on sweet elements, and its insistence on pulling complexity from simple elements. β 5 years ago
04 Vanishing Point - an Imperial stout matured in bourbon barrels 450 days.
Chocolate, charred oak, vanilla and ripe fruit underpined by a heady bourbon character.
Another masterpiece by Innis and Gunn. π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ

Fluffy fluffy. Floating above the clouds here with cold, winsome, comforting lacing. Cedar-y and vanilla nose with orange citrus and a touch of brioche. Waves a little wood about, with caramel apple subservient to its vanilla wafer and toffee toast, while these too offer restraint. Maple extract cookies in lemon tea, and an overall pear tartlet aspect that brings it arboreally north to its latitude. The tiniest drops of heather honey. At the risk of repeating myself; these are well balanced beers! β 5 years ago
Dark brown and rusty. Smells oddly Flemish with pickled peaches and rye bread flipping into bear claw. Tastes of cream soda, and root beer, barrel notes of Saigon cinnamon, rye, brown sugar, raw chocolate, chocolate tea, and cedar that finishes sweeter and creamier with nougat-coffee. β 5 years ago
Happy National Beer Day 2019! πΊ
Interesting story Innis and Gunn gave Canadian fans a chance to collaborate a limited edition beer with them.
This one, "Dons Choice" was the 2018 winner. He was flown to Scotland to work with brewer Dougal Gunn Sharp on this IPA.
A luxurious Black IPA brewed with chocolate and crystal malt.
Flavours of coconut, tropical hops and rhubarb make a memorable ale.
