The Hall Of Truth
Barrier Brewing Company

Copenhagen 4/7 2020. 47,3 cl can from Best of Beers. Cartoonish and quite detailed drawing on the can with a hall (of truth, I suppose), a crocodile, some burning organs and a split panel sowing some guy paddling a canoe. I am confused.

Pours hazy, golden yellow with a small white head. A bit bubbly. Leaves a thin, almost transparent layer of foam struggling to cover the surface of the beer. Substantial lacing.

Aroma is medium intense with a sweet odor of lightly fermented exotic fruit and boozy and citric notes. Peach and mango. Light decay. A sting of alcohol. Grape fruit and citrus.

Light carbonation. Slightly thick, soft, oily, almost flat texture.

Flavor is medium intense with a fairly strong sweetness followed by medium strong citric bitterness. Aftertaste is lightly bitter with a sweet undercurrent. Finish is semi-dry and with a metallic tang of alcohol.

Not bad. But it could use a bit more intensity and bit less alcohol.

pours amber with nice ipa head full of hop smell great hoppy beer to enjoy

This brew had a lot of the Barrier characteristics, but an added sweetness like guava juice or apricots used in the mash. It had enough hop bitterness to tame the fruity sweetness and a creamy mouthfeel, but not something I'd grab again since these guys make a lot of very tasty IPA's.

 

 

L: Poured from a tallboy can to a snifter glass. Had a yellowish / orange color and a very cloudy consistency. There was a quarter inch of foamy, fairly long-lasting head. Excellent lacing.

S: A very good aroma of dank hops, citrus fruit, pears, malt, and tropical fruit.

T: Tasted of a small amount of malt (mostly in the finish, not a big factor at all), some tropical fruit (pineapple and papaya, in particular), light pear notes (a subtle presence), a good shot of dank hops (not overdone, though), and a decent bit of citrus fruit (grapefruit, especially). This is a well-balanced, easy to like flavor.

F: A good amount of carbonation with a smooth finish. Medium-bodied.

O: A solidly made, focused beer. Worth a shot.

Peach colored with white head. Aroma of papaya, pear, citrus cream sorbet, and grass. Tastes of citrus cream sorbet, pear, papaya, mango, grass, pine. Thick bodied with medium carbonation.
