Oct 20, 2003 Delicious and fresh. Reddish color, beautiful frothy head, subdued but apparent carbonation. Great flavor and plenty of hops.

Aug 31, 2005 Barrelhouse was bought by Melanie Brewing Company in February ’05. Melanie closed the brewpub and is now brewing the beer at their Cincinnati brewery. I had this at an open house the brewery held last week. It’s as fine as ever (Barrelhouse’s brewmaster went with the new company, thank God). Medium brown color, fine hoppy aroma, aggressive but not overpowering hop flavor, superb balance, satisfying aftertaste. One of the very best IPAs I’ve had the privilege of drinking.

Feb 25, 2007 Aroma is floral, citrus, sweet, but bitter. Flavor is very much the same but with a bigger punch of hops than I was expecting. It also has a thick malt body. I didnt expect much out of this local brew, but I think it may be the best "pale ale" ive had yet. Id put it in the IPA category if I was blind tasting this. My first Barrel House brew, and so far I love them. WHO DEY!

Sep 3, 2007 Very strong and crisp pine/citrus hop aroma, the beer pours amber, with about a finger of white head that fades down to a cap, leaving sheets of lacing on the sides of the glass. Strong hop bitterness riding over a touch of caramel malts. Extremely long bitter finish. This is something I’m very impressed with at under $4 a bomber. Great session ale.

Apr 3, 2004 I had this one last night, served to me by Mike Cromie , the brewpub's beermaster. Although it had a nice burst of Cascade hops to its flavor, there really wasn't any strong body behind it.
