Innis & Gunn Brewery (Scotland) Ltd Edition Blonde Beer 
The regular Innes & Gunn oak-aged beer is a five-star favourite of beer-pages, so this 37,000 bottle edition, in a presentation box, launched November 2004 promised much. The colour is perhaps
a shade lighter, with an off-white, creamy head. The nose is fantastically nutty and toffeed, with notes of buttered popcorn, roasted sesame seeds and Seville orange. On the palate a caraway and burnt toast
depth is layered with espresso beans, dark cholate and more of that marmalady fruit quality. There's a complex and unfolding quality to this beer, with a tang of bitter hops and a sweet suggestion of vanilla pods
as well as a brightly-focused acidity that really lifts and extends this beer in the mouth. Brilliant, unusual and a must try beer. 33cl. 5.3%ABV. �1.99 Sainsbury's.
