Judges Ratings 
Description 

Combining two of craft beer’s most popular categories, Barrel-Aged Gunnpowder IPA brings together a fresh and vibrant IPA that is accentuated by the flavors of bourbon barrel aging.
This beer is definitely an IPA first with the notes of the barrel actually rounding out the bitterness that hops typically impart in the beer.

Innis & Gunn Barrel Aged Gunnpowder IPA is an American inspired India Pale Ale brewed with Summit, Cascade, and Citra hops and finished over untoasted bourbon barrels. The beer is 5.6% ABV and has 54 IBUs.
