Finally a little of what made me love hops.. this is not a "juice bomb" dont get me wrong its juicy delicious, but it has a little bitterness that seems to have disappeared in brewers quest for the latest NEIPA. I love this beer.

 

 

 

 

 

I was overly impressed with this offering. Classic ipa, a nice step away from the cloudy hazy juicy ipas we have all grown to love so much. This is a clear orange pour with tons of citrus fruit off the nose and very dank. Pallet is the same

 

 

 

 

 

 

The body is a slightly hazy, traditional golden straw yellow color of a hop-forward IPA. The head is white and fluffy with decent lacing along the glass. The aroma is very well blended with mostly zesty tropical fruit, passion fruit, nectarine, pineapple, lime, red grapefruit bitterness, grass, peach juice, and a sweet honey malt. The mouth feel is medium. The fine carbonation makes this one feel lighter and also makes it very refreshing. Low levels of bitterness throughout. The taste has a nice juicy fruitiness, mango, sweet citrus zest, peach, melon, tart pineapple, honey sweetness, pine resin, orange peel, and herbal grassiness.

 

 

 

This reminds me of the old Flower Power recipe, very good

The aroma offers grapefruit, sweet tropical and peach.

The flavor offers peach, melon, lots of cantaloupe, strawberry, a light bready malt, grapefruit zest.

An exceptional beer, along with Money, that puts Barrier as an underrated NY hoppy brewery.
