I've just tried a Daniel Thwaites 13 Guns - a US styleee tribute to the original states.

I have wittily posed an Innis&Gunn next to it - 14 Guns, geddit:rolleyes:

Dark amber, hoppy and definitely tasty but slightly underwhelmingly - a bit like many generic bottled beers.
I read the following description from someone as clever, verbiose and poetic as @theclaud :wub:

This beer pours a clear, bright medium bronzed amber hue, with two fingers of puffy, bubbly, and loosely foamy ecru head, which leaves a nice band of snowflake lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.
It smells of musty pine needles, overripe navel oranges and white grapefruit, gritty, grainy pale malt, a touch of hard toffee, and more indistinct, but duly pleasant tropical fruit. The taste is bitter grapefruit, orange, and lemon citrus rind, some further pineapple and kiwi sharp fruitiness, crackery caramel malt, more crystallized toffee, and a moderately dank forest floor pine hop astringency

Not so "verbiose" that I have to make up my own word for it...

Is it heretical to admit that I am not wild about Innis & Gunn? It's that tic tac vanilla thing. The other one sounds nice tho. Even if it does taste of everything ever.

I'm not a fan of I&G either but if it keeps rich off the streets it's doing some good.
The thought of bumping into MacB and Classic33 in a manhug is currently keeping me behind locked doors
