Born in a Barn pours into my glass slightly hazy and a pale amber in color. Its color is very much like ripe hay, only a shade or two lighter. The head is rocky, bone white, and lasting.
As a Brett IPA, Born in a Barn's aroma definitely lets its wild side shine. The aroma up front is a combination of earthy funkiness and the faintest hint of citrus tinted juiciness. Malt comes in second, smelling like rising bread dough and yeast. Beneath that, just a hint of leather, earth, and what could be caramel. Not a huge presence on those last three, just enough of a hint to add a little depth to the overall aroma.
As I take my first sip, I'm confronted by a fairly smooth, medium bodied beer with very gentle carbonation. The flavors start out bready and doughy with that hint of yeast. The center gives me subtle earthiness supporting wild funkiness coming from the brett. A faint hint of lemon helps brighten the overall flavor profile. The finish is really, only slightly hoppy.
it's an interesting idea that works well, although it could work better. It seems as though the brewery focused on the "Wild" but forgot about the IPA part of the equation. What I mean is that the beer tastes good and does have a nice wildness about it. But it lacks that assertive hop slam in the finish which makes this a lesser beer than it would otherwise be in my opinion.
