1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle from Global Wines, Bearwood. Thin gold, no head. Thin in gob too. Smells like hot chocolate in a tent, in Summer. Taste is not too good at all. Who wants an ’IPA’ that tastes like rum cream, sweet corn and sauted cotton wool? Not me.
1.8 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
(Bottle) Pours clear deep golden with a small head. The aroma holds cloying toffee, light-struck skunkiness, mouldy oranges and cheesy hops. Undertones of nut bread and dried apricots. The flavour is light to medium sweet and light bitter with notes of toffee, bready malt, weak hops and mouldy marmalade alongside a light oxidized touch of cardboard. The mouthfeel is dead with an abrupt finish. Sweet bread and toffee on the finish. Light to medium bodied.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Had this during the summer it had a citrusy aroma and the taste was very good orange peel and citrus notes there best beer so far.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pale golden with small white head. Malty with fruity tones. Malt, oak and bitterness. Medium body with a balanced aftertaste.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
330mL bottle poured a pale amber color with big white head settling quickly to lace. Aromas of caramel and mild hops. Taste is a quite sweet maltiness with a mild hop bitterness in the finish. Would have scored higher marks if there was a bolder hop presence. Quite disappointing for the style.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Typisk Innis & Gun i fatkaraktären och maltsötman. Det smakar smörkola, ek, och lite vanilj. Men därtill kommer en markerad humlebeska. Utan humlearom och så mycket till kropp tycker jag att det drar för mycket åt olika håll. Den här typen av beska passar bättre i en stramare torr ale eller lager. Tillsammans med sötman blir det mest kvalmigt.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
330 ml bottle. Finland.
Clear deep golden colour with small white head.
Strong sweet malty aroma with sugary and vanilla sweetness.
Mild fruitiness, no bitterness in flavour. Sweet sugary (whiskey) notes. Thick. Too sweet and not quite IPA like.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
33 cl bottle @ EEIPAF. No BBE info
Typical I&G aroma hits my nose immediately when pouring. Vanilla, barrell, aged fruits. Flavour has vanilla and harsh hops, aftertaste has a lot of somewhat unpleasant wood. Still don’t like I&G house flavour with overwhelming vanilla and wood.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
330 ml bottle.
Pours a light copper colour with a small white head. Aroma of sweet honey with some hops. Flavour of very sweet honey, caramel malts, oak, candi sugar, grassy hops and hay. Alcohol burns in the finish. Also caramel and honey too. Way too sweet and not an IPA at all.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from Peckhams Union Square. It pours amber, with a thin fizzy white head and high carbonation. The nose is sweet malt, hay, white sugar, brioche and caramelized banana. The taste is brioche, toasted malt, hay, grass, white sugar and some alcohol warmth, with a sweet malt finish. A bit too sweet for my liking.
