Description
Spearheading the barrel-ageing movement from Scotland, The Original bourbon barrel-aged beer is the one that started Innis & Gunn when Master Brewer Dougal Gunn Sharp founded the brewery in 2003.

Innis & Gunn was contract brewed in Glasgow at Tennent's Wellpark Brewery since 2014. On 15 November 2018 Tennent's announced the brewing contract will be terminated with effect from September 2020. Innis & Gunn responded the following day by saying they plan on opening their own brewery.

The Innis & Gunn Brewery in Perth is our home for innovation and barrel-ageing. With plans to build a new large scale brewery in our hometown of Edinburgh, it will be the first new large brewery to be built in the capital in 150 years.

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.
