Name: Innis and Gunn Blonda
Origin: Scotland
Style: Ale (Oak Aged Ale – 5% ABV)
Appearance: It is a gorgeous, crystal clear, dark golden coloured ale. Minimal head is produced though a soft, filmy ring does stay for the entire duration of the drink.
Taste: The aroma is strong and quite bready. Some caramel notes in the odour as well. This is a very flavourful beer, with a strong grain-like base. Sweet, caramel notes with a hint of vanilla and something almost hickory wood-like flavours, most likely from the oak aging. The beer is not very bitter and finishes with notes of crackers and hickory.
Mouth Feel: This is ale is quite creamy, though at the same time quite carbonated and sharp on the tongue. It’s not very filling and has a very pleasant, linger wood-like aftertaste.
Final Thoughts (4.0 out of 5): This is a great tasting beer. Full of flavour and character I feel that this version of the Innis and Gunn oak-aged ale is even better then the original.
