This year our very own three wise guys: Ken, Dougal and Fergus, came together to brew a festive beer with a difference. Arms ladled with Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh, they began their experimenting and with a little guidance from the big guy, Frank & Sense was born.
A golden ale, packed full of lovely hop and malt character, this Celestial brew has been elevated to a different plain by the addition of three of the oldest ingredients in the book.

500ml bottle. Pours a slightly hazy orange-gold with a large, frothy, long lasting, off-white head that laces nicely. Sweet fruity aroma of pale malt, muddled citrus flesh, peach, floral and herbal hops. Sweet fruity flavour of caramel malt, grain, muddled citrus flesh, light resin, floral and herbal hops in a dry finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Ok, worth a try.

Sample from 50 cl bottle. Clear golden amber colour with a thin white head. Fruity aroma with caramel malts, fruits, spicy notes and grasses. Taste is bitter. Medium body with a creamy texture and a lively carbonation. Finishes sweet and fruity.

500ml bottle. Golden amber colour, white foam head and malty grainy vegetal aroma. Taste is malt, toffee, boiled sweets with cardboardy metallic bitterness. Medium bodied, soft to medium carbonation, dry tangy bitter finish. OK.

500ml bottle that is wrapped up with a label and string. This golden ale pours a golden-amber colour, clean, with a big warm cap, good retention and some nice thick creamy lace. Grassy-sour aromas similar to coriander over the pale malts. The mouthfeel is quite bitter and dry. Wow, quite surprising for Innis & Gunn. Caramel malts and some light spices. This is quite a nice brew overall, if you are into bitterness.
