Amber colored, moderate head, decent lace/retention. Aroma is resin, light grapefruit and citrus, light alcohol, somewhat spicy hops - pretty typical East coast IPA/IIPA. Medium bodied, moderate to high bitterness, alcohol hidden well.

First taste of anything from Barrier. Very pleasantly surprised. Aroma is a little hoppy and a little boozy, with light citrus and sweet fruit. Taste is nice hoppy citrus but more sweet than bitter. You can definitely feel the 11.7%, but overall a very refreshing enjoyable imperial.
