Brewer's notes

Following its lengthy cask maturation and the blending of dry hops, this beer has a beautiful balanced finish, rich and smooth with an aroma of orange, ripe cherries and lychee.

An imperial red ale brewed using extra pale ale, rye crystal and crystal malts with a touch of wheat. A first for Innis & Gunn, the beer was transferred into first fill bourbon casks and then dry hopped with a blend of Ahtanum and Hallertau Hersbruker hops for maturation.

The dry hopping with impart an intense and distinctive hop aroma of orange, Turkish delight, dried cherries and lychees.

Bhavna and I both agree that the Innis & Gunn Rum Cask Ale is our favorite ale right now. It seems to go well with anything and I think it will satisfy any thirst. It’s heavy enough to hold its own with a meaty dish but I think it will also prove refreshing on a hot summer (or spring) afternoon.
