Beer #1 - W/C 2 March 2015
TASTING NOTES //
"Fundamentally utterly fucking gorgeously delicious" Phil Cook
Winner of the People's Choice at GABS 2012, Gunnamatta is neither new or rare. It is, however, a beer worth sharing and talking about. Stu and Sam at Yeastie Boys must have been struck by an awesome bolt of inspiration when they came upon the idea of throwing a massive load of Earl Grey Blue flower tea into the mash tun with what would already have been a damn tasty IPA.
This classically dry IPA is the perfect host to the fruit and bergamot orange flavours present in the tea.
