Inspired by the aromas and flavours found in a cup of Earl Grey, Innis & Gunn have infused this wheat beer with dried bergamot and blood orange oil. The beer has their signature oak flavour created in their OakeratorsĀ®. Similar to an old-fashioned coffee pot, bourbon-infused oak chips are placed within it and beer is pumped through them. This is a complex beer with an initial aroma of Earl Grey tea and freshly squeezed orange juice. Oak and vanilla flavours come rushing forward on the tongue leading to a sweet orange and spicy finish. At first it seems like an orchestra without a conductor, but slowly the notes harmonise and result in an intriguing and very enjoyable beer.
No animal derived products are used in the production of Innis & Gunn beers.
This beer is suitable for vegans at the time of writing (September 2015).
