Thick haze. Big fruity aroma, almost overripe. Candied citrus flavor, complemented by some passionfruit notes of Galaxy. Agile body for 8.8%. A big flavorful beer. Wish I had a fresher sample.

 

Excellent across all measures! These guys know what they’re doing and this version of a hazy imperial is near perfection!

 

 

This is really a great beer. I pretty much only drink New Trail beers and this is one of my favorites and close to my all-time favorite, Hammock.

 

 

Poured at fridge temp from a can. Pours hazy yellow/light orange with white head. Nose is full of tropical fruit. Mango, pineapple, papaya, green grapes, honey, wheat, and a modest pine/hoppy note.

Taste follows the nose, but with a much more prominent hoppy note. Grapefruit peel mixed with tropical fruit. More mango and pineapple. Dank. Unripe plum. The aftertaste is intensely bitter. Overall, a really nice double.

16oz can into a pint glass. NO freshness dating.

Looking superb in the glass. Thick bright orange juice colored body. Big bubbly white head shrinks to a fat ring and covering leaving excellent lacing.

Standard musty, hoppy, fruity aroma.

On tasting, maybe because its the end of an exhausting 24 hours, but this is just outstanding. Fruity, more citrus than non. Hoppy, juicy, warming from the abv. Refreshing and just aaahhhhh!.

Mouth closer to full than medium, finish slightly sweet, warming and juicy.

Overall, excellent interpretation of the style. Could have several more (except only have the single.)

Pours a murky orange with less that a finger of white head. Leaving behind nice lacing. Aromas of pineapple, mango, peach, big time tropicals. Taste follows, slightly bitter finish, not much alcohol presence detected for a beer that clocks in at 8.8%. Thick and creamy feel, slightly chewy but not overwhelming. This is another quality DIPA from New Trail.

Freshness date- non. I called the brewery in June of 2020 “ our date stamping machine is broken”
There is a sour smell to the beer,

Taste has the same sourness on the back end. Maybe got a bad batch from Wegman’s Erie.?

Feel is fine. The aftertaste is just not competitive.

Overall there are a lot of choices for hop heads. Brew Gentlemen in PA, The Other HalF was in NY, and of course Treehouse in MA

Pours a hazy murky pale amber with an off white head.

Smells citrus and tropical fruit with notes of body order, earth, and bitter herb

Mango star fruit citrus and bitter herb with dank earth undertones.

 

A thanks to the creator of the canquest, woodychandler, for this beer. Poured fro a 16 oz. can. Has a hazy, golden/orange color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of citrus, mango. Taste is grapefruit. pineapple, light mango and pine. Feels medium/full bodied in the mouth and overall is an enjoyable beer.
