Awesome pale yellow pour with a nice resistant white head on top. The smell is pungent and dank. The taste has a great balance of sweet and bitter. The feel is smooth. Overall outstanding brew!

Looks yellowish but not murky. Head disappears fast.
Smells like heaven, full of funky hops and tropical fruit. Not quite as yeasty a bouquet as a normal Barrier, but maybe just because they concocted such a potent hops mixture.
Tastes great for several seconds. Perfectly bitter, tarry backbone throughout, with a burst of grapefruit zest and mango to start. Sip and savor it, if you can, because the last, warmest sips will be fullest.
Feels less full than its flavor. Nice asphalt taste lingers but the accompanying fruit fizz fizzles out thinly.
Overall, a great modern IPA.
