Pours a dark, pinkish orange with two fingers of thick, dense head.
Smell is fruity and juicy, and quite sweet, with notes of red berries, mango, vanilla and rosehips.
Taste is sweet and juicy, with notes of berries, mango, vanilla and a very soft bitterness. There is a slight tartness, probably from the raspberries.
Mouthfeel is medium, soft and pillowy, well carbonated.
Overall, a very nice fruited IPA with great mouthfeel.

Pours a pinkish, light red shade of orange with a dense, finely carbonated two finger head of foam that laces the glass very well. Aroma is fruity - vaguely medicinal with bitter cherry, dry tangerine peel and mild pine with some sweet, creamy malt in the background. Flavor is very impressive. Raspberry tarts and coconut cream upfront. Mid palate it gets tangy, dry and bitter with tropical flavors of grapefruit peel, accompanied by an aftertaste of savory mango and guava. Well balanced, slightly tart but not sour. Finishes on a sort of tart cherry strudel / strawberry cream of wheat aftertaste. Medium body. Overall I didn't think I was going to like this but I actually really do, kudos Barrier and JWB - this is fantastic.

16oz. can into Night Shift stemware. Shared with schen9303.
Nose is cream, mango, mint raspberry and strawberry. Juicy and seedy. Sweet. Aromatic. Beer opens mango, mint and raspberry. Soft with big, juicy fruit notes. Coconut is noticeably missing. Foamy and a sweet, seedy bitterness at the finish. Decent. Body is light to medium with moderate to ample carbonation. Foamy on the palate and goes down prickly. Sticky, dry finish.
I'm not a huge fan of IPAs brewed with fruit and this is no exception. Decent but I wouldn't revisit this.
