16oz can into a tall glass. Canned 2/19/24, so 3 months old.
Good looking beer. Burnt orange body with a decent head, streaks of lacing. Aroma is mostly non citrus fruit. On tasting, hoppy, juicy, warming, somewhat sweet. Finish is sweet and a little bitey. Overall, NT seem to really shine in Imperial ipas, and while this isn't their best, it's a damn fine beer that holds up well 3 months after canning.

Undated (WTF) can into pint glass. Pours a murky deep gold with a nice off-white head. Good lacing. Initial impression is pineapple, grapefruit, and mango, with a little sweetness (but not nearly as much as many DIPAs). Mouthfeel is fairly soft. Finish fades to a piney dankness. Overall, another excellent DIPA from New Trail.

A fingers worth of fluffy light khaki colored froth with a rocky top... Excellent retention... Dark Uber hazy mustard yellow... Gobs of lacing cling to the glass... Nose is vibrant tropical fruit - pineapple and mango... Palate is consistent the nose but the oat base adds tons of depth and complexity... On the fuller side of medium bodied... Light to moderate carbonation... Awesome double ipa that check all of the boxes...

16 ounce can poured into a Duvel tulip glass. Can says, "Keep cold drink fresh", but there's no canning information.
L---Hazy, rich golden color. Fluffy, white head had good retention and left gorgeous lacing.
S---Orange and advertised mango. Other tropical notes, as well.
T---Orange (which is probably my interpretation of the advertised tangerine), mango & vague fruitiness.
F---Medium bodied with good carbonation.
O---Tasty. Really good one.
