Three Thousand Eighty
Greater Good Imperial Brewing Company

Sampling a 16 oz can picked up at the brewery and date stamped 11/9/2023. Drinking at just below room temperature and pouring into my snifter. the beer pours a rich clear copper color with several lazy streams of carbonation rising to the surface. A dense creamy off white head of about 1 cm foams up on the pour, but this is only a thin edge layer soon after the pour.
Aroma is hints of toffee and then a healthy dose of rindy grapefruit and pine sap. this is definitely a hop forward aroma. I dont really get much booziness or fusol notes on the nose.
The first sip of the beer reveals a medium body and very fine tingly carbonation. Texture is pretty smooth and not a very sticky barleywine is in my glass. I dont get really any coating on my palate and the beer drinks pretty easy.
Flavor is matching what the nose advertised to me. I get briefly some caramel and toffee and then a big hit of rindy grapefruit and pine sap bitter hops. Slightly astringent and definitely dries out my palate. Feels like olde school American barleywine here. Bitterness lingers after each sip, but I still dont get any booze or warming, so the beer drinks fast and easy.
You want a hop forward barleywine, this one is for you.

Poured from a can at fridge temp. Pours a nice dark orange - mostly transparent. Thin layer of head with some lacing. The nose is a nice mix of bread, toffee, and floral hops. A bit of honey dew and a hint of lemon.

The taste is definitely more hop-forward than the nose. There is a medicinal note, and a slightly strange sweetness. Grainy, toffee, slight citrus, pine needles, and a strong floral note. It's a good beer, but I would say the integration of flavors could be improved a bit. The sweetness seems to fight a bit too much with the hops. Very drinkable otherwise.
