| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 7, 2008 Pretty good offering from Barley Island. Not the best IPA I’ve ever had, but its different from most of the average ones, which is good. Pours a really nice amber color, with a perfect head. Lots of carbination bubbles. Very piney aroma and flavor, nice balance of citrus, and a little malt mixed in. Bitterness on the back end, with a metallic aftertaste (which I didn’t care for). A little too sticky, but a good local brew. BlackOut (43), East End, England
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 1, 2008 Pours solid orange color, decent head and lots of chunks floating around as well. Head dispersed rather quickly though. Kinda sour and too bitter for my tasting, glad I didnt buy the 6pack of this. CP (124), USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 24, 2008 Solid IPA. Has a more orange aftertaste than many IPAs I have had. Not too hoppy at all. Unique69crazy (119), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA

Not too much bad to say with particular type, go out and buy one you hop-heads! wheninhell (486), louisville, Kentucky, USA

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 24, 2008 12oz bottle courtesy of Acknud. Earthy aroma. For a beer that touts an intense hop aroma, this one did not deliver. A bit nutty even. Very little hop aroma. Amber and orange color. Nice fluffy white head that stuck around. Grassy hop flavor. Not overally bitter like most American IPAs are. There was an off aftertaste. I could not put my finger on it. I would call this an APA not IPA. Doverduo (1), USA does not count | 5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Jan 20, 2008 IPA is always my beer of choice. Barely Island Barfly has the best aroma and flavor of all that I have sampled.
