“At long last, we bring you our take on a Hazy IPA. It’s no secret that most of our portfolio is hop forward, flavorful, and unfiltered. With Barbarian Haze, we took the hopping protocol a bit further, using some new age brewing alchemy coupled with our old school heavy handed approach. Fans of the style will recognize the complex soft malt character that helps balance the generous hop additions for supreme drinkability.”
This is surprisingly drinkable for a 3 Floyds offering, with a very light mouthfeel and strong flavors of stone fruit and citrus up front (plus a little pineapple as it gets warmer). The finish is too smooth for it to be thought of as balanced, but the whole thing is oddly appealing. I don’t know if I would go so far as to call myself a 3 Floyds convert just yet, but I might be starting to come around.
