Thanks Matt for the can.
A- Tallboy into a snifter with a clear golden body and a fluffy white head. The silky cap rises and falls slowly peaking at about an inch tall. Lacing starts with thin but large sheets and spottiness below.
S- Strong hops in the aroma with citrus making up the majority of the smell. Grapefruit and orange at mammoth strength with just hints of stone fruit, floral, pine and dank hops. A bit of sweetness and light grains suggested.
T- The beer opens up with a wave of tangerine and bitter oranges before leading into the really strong ruby grapefruits. Both citrus juice and the bitter, zesty oil comes to mind as the beer follows up on the aroma closely. Hops also give pine resin, mango, apricot, floral, herbal and dank hints. A moderate sweetness but overall the beer isn't malty.
MF- Medium bodied with a silky and creamy texture. The beer fluffs up quite a bit from the high end carbonation. Ends with a high level of bitterness.
A ton of citrus in this brew with a slight bit of stone fruit, pine and floral hops beneath that. Clean, bitter and hoppy.

Canned 10/8/18, a collab with London-based brewers, Hackney, this is basically Barrier's imperial Kapow!
Medium-light gold and hazed, with a finger or three of head on top... Herbal and floral, with suggestions of pale fleshy fruit underneath... Moderately sweet, mildly bitter, with a soft. smooth feel... Has some earthiness to it, a little bit of heft to the body... I'm giving it a thumbs up...

Earthy IPA. Residual bitterness in the finish but more of a raspy feel with this beer. Nice white foamy head on this beer. Scents of melon, and a bit of perfume.
