The Jerk Store Called
Barrage Brewing Company

 

 

Pours hazy, slightly cloudy honey color with a small hear that left a decent amount of spotty lacing.

Tropical & citrus fruits and peels with some minor dank herbal and piney notes comprise the aroma.

Taste is fruity but has a grassy aspect as well, strange mix of citrus/tropical/stone fruits.

Feel is medium-heavy, noticeably much more apparent bitterness than all of the other hazies sent to me by my NY friend. Wouldn't really characterize it as creamy and smooth like you'd think of from a hazy.

Overall, an okay DIPA hazy, right in line with the average of the style being produced out West here.

Pours a hazy golden color with a half inch white head that leaves some lacing. Smells of citrus fruits and pine. Tastes of pink grapefruit, grapefruit pith, pine and a very mild tropical fruit flavor that I cannot put my finger on. On the light side of medium bodied, light carbonation, moderate bitterness, slightly dry finish. Looks the part of a NEIPA but really tastes lake a west coast IPA.

Double dry hopped New England-style IPA featuring Mosaic, Comet, and Galaxy hops...

Medium-gold and hazy under a coupla fingers of white head... Presents suggestions of ruby red grapefruit citrus, both fleshy sweet and pith dry, an undertone akin to passion fruit with notes of berry... There is a certain pine-like air hovering above it on the palate as well, which leaves a light shellac-like impression... Medium-light weight and softly carbonated, with a mild sweetness and a mild bitterness...

The name is a nod to the Seinfeld episode called The Comeback where George wishes he had a comeback for an insult he received while gorging on shrimp - "Hey, George, the ocean called; they're running out of shrimp" and only later comes up with, "...The jerk store called, and they're running out of you..." And if you can't tell from the picture, the can has shrimp designs all over it... lol...

Anyways, decent beer, but just another drop in the NE/DIPA bucket...

10/4/18 can release...
