A rich golden beer with a distinctive aroma of vibrant hop (from the Goldings and Styrian Goldings hops) and banana. Caramel sweetness is balanced with a light, creamy texture and some bitterness

Pours clear golden colour with quickly disappearing white head. Butterscotch, caramel, vanilla and light hoppiness in the aroma. Thin mouthfeel. Slightly bitter taste with notes of metallic hops with some toffee/caramel. Okay, but nothing special.

Bottle. Weak green apple aroma. Clear shiny golden colour. Small white head. The flavour is very sweet for the style. Has a little vanilla or coconut note. Medium bitterness. Medium to high carbonation.

Bright clear amber beer. Good white head. Palate is light and dry and softish. Mild carbonation. Lots of vanilla oak and cream soda! A nice fruity banana ester. Whisper of bubblegum. Finishes softish and semi dry with minerals and a touch of citrus. Decent.

Beautiful orange-light amber color with small sized frothy head. Mild aroma of malt and vanilla. The mouthfeel is round enough; quit good flavor of malt and toffee, to which the oak adds the correct amount of vanilla; correct bitterness.
No surprises, but it’s a well balanced beer.

[330ml bottle from Beers of Europe] Pale amber with a negligible head and a slight fizz. All the usual Innis & Gunn flavours are there up front - oak, vanilla & cream soda, with possibly more whisky & caramel than is usually the case. Lemon soon comes through - the hops are a little more evident in this than in your usual Innis & Gunn (although it’s by no means strongly hopped), and give a touch of bitterness in the finish. The problem is, the hoppy half of the beer doesn’t go with the barrel-aged half. It’s like a golden ale has been mixed into a normal Innis & Gunn beer - I like the two halves individually, just not together. There’s plenty to like about this beer, but it is unbalanced & not up to Innis & Gunn’s normal standard.

Golden colour with an off white head. Moderate sweet fruity aroma with oak in the background. Lots of caramel malt in the flavour. Ripe whisky and apple. Thick nice texture. Not much hops here.
