BarrelHouse India Pale Ale – Hoppy | Dank | Mango
Like our Pale Ryder, we want you to first inhale close your eyes and dig deep, take in all the dank, herbal, and mango hop goodness. We’ve built this delicious IPA around our favorite hops Simcoe, Cascade, Centennial, and Mosaic. Now open your eyes and take a gulp and let the bitterness, malt character, and aroma play tug-a-war across your palate. We haven’t skimped and believe this is how an IPA should taste. Satisfy your hop addiction with this excellently crafted IPA.
ABV 7.0% | IBU: 76 | S.G. 1.065

We were down at Pismo and picked up a 6 pack. It's my new favorite IPA. So glad I can get this at Total. The flavors all meld well together. There's a bitterness but it isn't hard and biting, it compliments the tropical flavors. A dlish dry finish. You just can't drink one of these. Very good.

Poured outta a can into a glass shaker.
Color is golden orange. Smell is faint. Citrus flavor and medium/high carbonation. More like a NE style IPA. Mouth feel is thin and a little dry. Overall an easy drinking beer that is well balanced; it's main downside is it's nothing special.
Edit: drank the 6 pack. +1 point to my original review. Its a solid beer that I will buy again. Easy drinking and it doesn't grow old.

May 21st, 2016 - Barrel House Brewing has brought some colorful beers to the festival, with odd flavors, strong flavors and curious flavors. But the IPA is refreshingly straightforward. A nice hop bill, with a good sweetness and a bitterness that leaves a legacy, this is a solid brew.

This IPA is blowing me away, to be honest. It looks so very copper and hazy with a nice white, soft lacing, and it smells of champagne mango, citrus and bread. BUT, it's biggest asset is the taste. It tastes like creamy citrus, guava, mango--so fuckn good. Mouthfeel is well above average. This one is a winner.

Another great beer from Barrelhouse Brewing. Their iteration of IPA is very good. This is more of a west coast style, that I really don't see any haziness with. I had this on tap at the Taproom in Visalia. Enjoyed it so much, I took home a sixer! Very good nose for an IPA...tropical notes from the Mosaic hops. Taste follows somewhat...the only thing that I didn't care for is the extra bitter bite at the end.

And excellent fresh hazy IPA with juicy tropical as well as piney grapefruit hops, nice balancing malt backbone, bright bitter finish but does not linger, medium body and a bit creamy.

L: Slightly hazy golden honey with a small head that left a good amount of spotty lacing.
S: Tropical and stonefruit notes, piney hops, and a little bit of bready malt.
T: Great, full mango and other tropical fruit flavors with danky, piney hops. Unique, very nice.
F: Medium, very solid bitterness, great carbonation, clean finish.
O: Really enjoyed this West Coast IPA, solid and danky but with very bright and expressive fruit notes. I've really liked all the Barrelhouse brews I've tried so far and will continue to pick 'em up.

L: A quite-hazy golden-orange, with average level of off-white head, slightly-above-average lacing, with minimal rising carbonation bubbles visible.
S: Incredibly strong tropical fruit flavors, most notably papaya and mango. A deeper sniff reveals subtle pine and resinous hop aromas.
T: very dank resinous hops dominate. the tropical fruit is still present but is far more subdued than in the smell. moderately sweet.
F: medium-full body. average amount of quite-above-average intensity carbonation creating a very crisp bite, but with some minor stickiness in the back half of the sip and aftertaste
