660ml big boiii bottle from Aldi. It pours clear lager yellow with a decent fluffy white head. The aroma is grainy, spicy, bready, zingy citrus and some nuttiness. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, quite grainy, spicy, green veg, definitely has tequila vibes, floral, snappy biscuit, pithy, zesty and waxy citrus peel with a dry, grainy finish. Medium body and fairly high carbonation. A bit grainy, but it's not bad. Drinkable enough when cold.

Draught from the city centre taproom, Glasgow. Brownish red, translucent with a small beige ring of head and uneven lacing. Woody, rye-spicy aroma. Sweet taste with sweet spice, white pepper, and a dry finish with a medicinal bitterness. Very heavy carbonation. Nice to find an Innis & Gunn I like well enough although it is a bit one dimensional.

Pouring a read brown, mild yet long lasting head. Nice lacing. Aroma is caramel & chocolate malts & toffeee. Nice shortbread biscuit taste, a small medicine tinge to follow. I liked.

For whatever reason, I had never had this, thinking that all the old supermarket bottles must have over-halogen lit and hence skunked. So i picked up a fresh-y one at whole foods. Poured as it looks in the bottle (duh), taste is like butter toffee cookies after english tea. Really. And that’s a good thing.
