Our Gigantic IPA aged in Ransom Old Tom Gin barrels for 3 months. Botanicals from the gin meld perfectly with citrusy hops and subtle wood in an incredibly complex beer.

On tap at the Trappist. Aroma is floral gin notes with some light orange, tangerine and tropical fruit notes. Faint oak with some light cracker malt notes and hints of caramel. Pours a hazy, copper orange with a medium sized, thick, white head that recedes steadily to a thin film that lingers. Moderately high amounts of lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with some medium light grain notes of cracker and caramel. Moderately strong bitterness with a bit of a grassiness. Moderate gin floral and herbal notes. Some light orange and tangerine notes with light oak. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice gin IPA but the flavor has a bit of an odd, grassy note.

Draft 8 oz pour at The Cave, Kirkland. A thick, milky orange pour. Gin barrel beers are so much fun for me. Very fragrant aroma. Inviting. Flavor is a cool fresh front, floral, obvious gin impact. As much gin there is, the hop profile remains very much intact. Boasting with flavor. A touch boozy, but I can never hate barrel aged beers too much for that. Never had an IPA like this before. So interesting.

Tap at MBCC 2017 Blue session. Poured a crystal clear Lucozade orange amber colour with a round white head. The aroma is lemon rind zesty citrus, woody hop. The flavour is moderate sweet light bitter with a sweet glucose malt, light fruit, woody resin hop bitter, light spice palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. It kinda tastes a little bit like Lucozade too. Not one for me.

Draught @ Mikkeller Bar. Pours clear golden orange with a smooth head. Aroma of gin, caramel, toffee, fruits and pine. Taste is sweet, malty and caramely with some pine, resin and sticky Notes. Finish is sweet, malty and stuffy with some caramel and pine. Sweet and heavy.
