About
Located in our historic barn, we are proud to be Rhode Island’s first farm brewery. A visit to Tilted Barn Brewery allows you to tour the brewery, walk through the fields to see, touch, and smell the ingredients that go into your beer, and relax in a century-old barn while enjoying the fruits of our labor. Our small batch, hand-crafted ales are best enjoyed fresh and in season so be sure to make the trek early and often for a true farm-to-pint experience.

Canned 2/10/26, drunk 3/18/26.
Nothing too piney or resinous here. In fact, it's quite fruity, with lychee and melon and even a bit of soft, very fruity yeast. Add the hazy appearance and there isn't a ton WC about this, other than maybe a slight preponderance of PNW hops; but even those aren't distinct. Malts seem soft and supportive.
Fruity, with soft, supple, pillowy malts and a gentle sweetness with good attenuation and a good finishing bitterness. Somewhat of a shorter finish; tastes almost wheaty, with the typical nuttiness, chewiness and blandness that wheat provides. Very light grapefruit through the middle, above-average bitterness show flashes of a WC Pale ale, but this is 90% NE Pale ale. Regardless, it's incredibly flavorful, balanced and refreshing. Love that extra bitterness. Could be a bit of diacetyl in here, but it's charming.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: burnt orange close to brown color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy, slight melon, sweet herbal, touch of mixed dark berries then some light biscuity malts
Flavor: wraps up the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet juicy to bittersweet juicy quality; finishes semi-juicy through the melons & dark berries
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, good smoothness; low carb, low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: a very nicely done NEIPA very worthy of returning to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark orange haziness with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: floral, melon, pineapple, mango and mixed citrusy hop notes; subtle hop zest; clean biscuity malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet juicy to bittersweet juicy quality; finishes melon and pineapple forward and a brisk note of hop zest
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness over the tongue; no hop burn, no hop bitterness assertiveness and nice low carb
Overall: very nicely done NEIPA more than worthy of returning to.

Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: burnt orange haziness with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: melon, guava, white grapes and some lemon initially then some lighter scents of pine, papaya and lime in the secondary; super light on the malts - somewhat biscuity
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet semi-juicy tone to a semi-juicy sweet quality; finishes leaning into the guava and papaya mostly
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness rolling about; and a nice allocation of the hops as there's barely any hop bitterness found acting assertively
Overall: well, guess I found the textbook NEIPA from this brewery! Woop woop.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: burnt orange haziness with a two and a quarter fingers of white foamy head which took it's time to dissipate and once it did; subtle lace appeared
Aroma: melons, grapefruit, subtle passion fruit, slight oranges - somewhat Mandarin-like? Yeah, I think so; then some clean biscuity malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine fruity sweet to a bittersweet juicy quality; finishes mostly with the melon, grapefruit and oranges
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe closer to medium bodied; slight sessionability to it; some smoothness but a light brisk hoppy bitterness nicking the tongue ever so slightly
Overall: now this is the style this brewery knows how to do! And this is one I'd definitely love to have again!

Can to tulip.
Appearance: mango fleshy red color with a quarter finger of pink to off-white frothy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: raspberry tart and sweet whiffs with a slight salty note; subtle lemon underneath that
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a nice sweet and tart quality then flanked by a little bit of saltiness; finishes raspberry forward with some salt
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; some smoothness about it with a light acidity in there that seems to nick up the tongue a bit
Overall: as a fruited tart ale with some salt in it, I'd say it works like that but this isn't a gose. One can't just throw in salt in a beer and call it a gose, it doesn't work like that.

Can to weizen glass.
Appearance: copper color with a slight transparency about it and a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated at a nice pace but barely left any lace
Aroma: banana, crushed clove, sweet wheat, some bubblegum and a touch of some grassiness
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet quality flanked by a little bit of spiciness; finishes about the same way
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; a bit too smooth as I never got any wheat bite and/or kick
Overall: well, this could pass as an Americanized Krystalweizen if we're talking semantics here but hey, thanks for the beer tick, Tilted Barn.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark brown with what seems to be slight dark purple-ish hues along the sides with a finger's worth of eggshell white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: dark fruity notes, sweet caramel/toffee whiffs, some nuts and dark bread, Belgian sugars? Hmmm, yeah, but really subtle
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet quality; finishes sweet through all those aromas
Texture: medium bodied, leaning into being a sipper; somehow a bit too smooth as I was expecting that "back-of-the-throat" Belgian dryness/grab that didn't occur
Overall: hmmmm, well, where are the Belgian spices I was supposed to get? Seemed pretty non-existent but it's not a bad beer it's just not balanced like a true Belgian Quad.

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: copper color with a three finger white frothy head which settled off at a nice pace which left some light messy lace
Aroma: some white grapes, light lemons, light melon tones; light clean biscuity malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine semi-sweet to brisk bittersweet quality; finishes crisp through the white grapes and lemons
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness and a little bit of hoppy bitter edges nipping at the tongue ever so lightly
Overall: I say a pretty nicely done pilsener done up in this "modernized" New Zealand fashion. Sure, I'd have another one of these.
