3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap @ RnH. Dark brown to black pour with no noticeable head. Aroma is a little bready and slightly hoppy. Watery mouthfeel and no flavor dominates or even gets my attention. Not offensive at all, but complexity kind of supercedes overall taste. Okay.

Barrier has been getting some attention lately - they have been written up in Ale Street News and they seem to be turning out some interesting brews. This is a style that is popping up here and there lately, and they did a really nice take on it. A mellow, easy drinking, bready ale that goes down well. Draft at RnH.
