500ml bottle. Pours dark brown with a large head. Aroma is watery toffee. Taste has some spicy hop to start and a toffee malt finish. Watery.

Quite a skunky aroma, nice hop on the tasting, slight bitterness on the palate, not bad

Bottle 500ml. An OK bitter, with nice malty aromas. Smells like caramel, and nuts. Taste is sweet, with average length. Oily palate, with high carbonation. Amber, with a head that doesn’t last.

Das IPA startet zwar hopfig, dennoch scheint es mir ein eher mildes IPA, ein Massenbier, wie man so sagt. Als Unterton agiert ein frischer Malzton, auch dieser eher mild. Die Hopfigkeit wird im Mittelteil nur minimal stärker, das Bier wird trotzdem etwas würziger. Eine Entäuschung ist der Nachgeschmack, das Malz bleibt zwar konstant, doch die Hopfigkeit und auch die Herbe sacken von einem auf den anderen Moment auf 0 ab, so entsteht ein außerordentlich wäsriger Abgang. Ein meiner Meinung nach deutlich zu mildes IPA. Test vom 29.11.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,9,9,5,11,8 - 8,30

oured from a can on the oppoite side of the earth and for all money it looks like a good looking pint. Clear, excellent colour and evident carbonation with a firm white head that seems to hang around. Sort of fusty Challenger hop aromas and quite aromatic malt. Bitterness to the fore that sinks into a crystal malt sweetness, but there’s a sort of blanching going on on the roof of my mouth that I’m not sure what to make of. I’m always wary of beers that have traveled and I think this would taste a sight better in the vicinity of the brewery.

500ml bottle purchased at the LCBO. Poured a red/ copper colour with no head or lacing. Aroma is very faint and of malts. Taste is carmalized malts. Pretty plain, not the IPA I was expecting.

Bottle - clear amber. Off white head. Medium carbonation. Caramel. Some hoppiness. Mildly bitter. OK.

If innis and gun did not taste so much like wood this is what it would taste like.

Clear bottle. Slight taste of skunk. I think that this is what innis and gunn would taste like without the wood.
