After hearing about the Barnone project at Agritopia, Noel called Joe Johnston to see if there were any spots left. Thankfully there was and three days later it was a done deal! While construction on Barnone continued, Noel & Bryan upgraded to a 10-barrel system at their production facility and cranked out beers for their grand opening in November of 2016.

Can thanks to Paul. Pours a cloudy orange with medium white head that lasts. The aroma is pine and citrus. Slick body, biscuit, citrus, grass, bitter finish, very good.

16 oz. can from Total Wine, Scottsdale, AZ. Pours a clear gold color with a bright white head and very good retention. Decent lacing. A light grainy aroma and not much else. As advertised, it tastes like a pilsner lite. Lightly bitter pilsner malt with a clean, crisp mouthfeel. Medium-light body. Nothing special, just a good light summer beer.

Pint can pours with a clear deep gold colored body that supports a thin near white head of foam. The aroma offers up peach, passion fruit, cranberries with a layer of cantaloupe floating above all else. The taste delivers similar notes with peach, passion fruit and cranberry. To midway it picks up spicy and floral hops mixed with guava and mango. This drinks well. The main take-away is: why aren't you drinking more of this now? ...... well, why?

Pint can pours with a murky nearly opaque dirty dull gold to copper colored body that supports a thin off white head of foam. The modest aroma offers up sort of a blend of raspberry, berry leaves, a hit of strawberry and then faint murmurs of mango and melon. The taste delivers a varied hoppiness that's blended pretty well making it a little tough to discern. It's largely tangy and juicy citrus as well as softer sweeter notes of mango and cantaloupe. This is even and balanced nicely. Fun beer.

Pint can pours with a nice murky opaque slightly glowing dull gold colored body that supports a thin white head of foam. The aroma offers up mango, guava and then some grapefruit and clementine like citrus hoppiness. The taste delivers similar notes with a blend of soft sweet juicy mango, guava and cantaloupe cut by bitter and juicy grapefruit and clementine citrus hoppiness. In the background a wafer thin layer of cracker like malts is noticed creating further depth and balance to the experience. Solid haysy.

Pint can pours with an inky black colored body that supports virtually no head. The aroma offers up inviting clouds of chocolate, booze and malt roastiness and virtually no sense of coconut. The taste is similar as I get slick rich dark chocolate fudge mingling with a bit of malt roastiness. To midway it warms with a pleasing semi soft booziness. It ends slightly thin on the palate with an oily sense of chocolate fudge and residual sugars that brings a smile to the mouth. This is a terrific sipper.

Pint can pours with an inky black colored body that supports virtually no head. The aroma offers up an inviting chocolate maltiness, a hit of dark roasted malts and then a light sense of booze. The taste delivers smooth chocolate bars blended with dark roasted malts and a bit of dark roasted coffee. To midway it picks up a thin soft sweet vanilla note just before the barrel treatment weighs in on the experience. This is really nice balanced rich sipper.

Pint can pours with an inky black colored body that supports virtually no head. The aroma offers up reduced sugar, bourbon barrel heat and some dark roasted malts mixed with a dash of chocolate and sweetened dark roasted coffee. The taste delivers smooth slick sweet malts and reduced sugars flowing into sweetened dark roasted malts and chocolate malts. At midway a brief note of caramel gives way to boozy bourbon booze. This is really nice balanced rich sipper.
