Not everyday you drink an Ipa that puts more of their attention to its body than the hops. It could come across as a full bodied ale with some hop factor - but its still a very well rounded beer nevertheless.

 

 

 

L: Opaque gold with a few small white floaties. A small foamy white head, with decent retention. A thin film remains, leaving streaky lacing.

S: Green mango, honeydew melon, yellow peach, white peach, apricot, vanilla sugar cookie.

T: Lots of honeydew melon and cantaloupe, with some peach, mango, and apricot. Lightly tart and leans toward zippy, under ripe fruits. Soft sugar cookie/biscuit malt backbone, with a hint of lettuce on the finish. Crisp, clean, and lightly dry.

F: Medium-plus bodied, crisp and clean but smooth and mellow. Moderately carbonated, and slightly creamy.

O: Another great Barrier IPA. I wish it was a little fresher, but it still tastes good.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Collaboration with Magnify Brewing; 7/17/18 canning... Golden yellow body just shy of opaque under a fluffy head of white foam... Dry hopped, featuring Citra, Galena, and Simcoe hops, this beer offers suggestions of citrus, like muddled orange and lime, with floral notes and an earthy pine underbelly... Smooth with a medium-light body, softly carbonated, the beer has a subdued sweetness and a mild bitterness, followed by a clean finish... Seems to hit a lot of marks, but doesn't capture my interest the way other IPAs of theirs have...
