Something Deep and Meaningful
New Trail Brewing Company

 

 

 

Nice hazy deeper golden look with a thin white head from pounder can, let’s give er a try. Nice potent sweet pineapple and grapefruit type nose on this beer, going well so far. Decent slightly sweet flavor profile with minimal bitterness. Medium thickness with ok carbonation, this brew is quite well put together.

 

very good hazy, so many of these but would go back to this one. Good representation of quality brew in this style.

 

 

Thanks to Adrock314 for this one, from the recent Can Cans BIF. 16oz can (no date) poured into 14oz teku. Poured a fully murky yellow-orange color with an inch of white head that had good retention and very good lacing.

The aroma had the expected frooty hops of the style at the front, with a hint of citrus in the background. No grain/malt apparent.

Same on the tongue, just a bit more defined, and with just the slightest bit of hop bite on the back end.

The body was the typical light-medium of the style, smooth, and had a semi-sweet finish.

Drinkability was good, for the style, but I wasn't left wanting more.

Overall, a solid version of the style. If you like these beers, you'll like this one.

 

 

 

A new beer, an old routine. A pint can is just about emptied into a clear pint glass for this exposure. The color is a dense and murky blond, with no head and an average glass lace. The smell is dank, but more of a stale dank than a fresh and juicy dank. There's just a little more carbonation in the delivery than it would appear. The taste is a dull and sticky bitter, nowhere near the awesome hazies New Trail has produced. Without a solid malt backing, Something Deep And Meaningful comes across as a lie, since it's neither. It's best attribute is the disguise of any hint of alcohol, but some appreciate the contribution that a mild dose of that taste adds to the overall.

A - Opaque light golden tan color with dense white lacing.

S - Dank tropical fruit aroma with pineapple, some spicy fruit rind, nectarine, mango, and papaya.

T - Papaya, mango, pineapple, and spicy fruit rind with some peppery notes.

M - Thick and chewy on the texture with light pricklies.

O - The ABV is completely hidden and this is packed full of tropical fruit flavor and highly recommended.

Poured from a 16 oz can into a Dogfish Head tulip

L: Opaque medium golden pour with big fluffy white head. Great ring of lacing.

S: Grapefruit and tropical fruits. Juicy and inviting.

T.F: Semi-sweet up front. Super juicy... grapefruit and tangerine. Pineapple, mango, and papaya... melon and peppercorn. Modest bitterness... surprisingly balanced. Creamy mouthfeel and medium bodied. More fruit at the finish.

O: An outstanding Imperial NEIPA. Great flavor... just the juice bomb I was hoping for.

 

Spectacularly good. Juicy, dank, delicious. Tons of mango and papaya notes in the aroma and in the flavor. Just enough danky bitterness to offset the sweetness of that wheat and oat malt bill. The 8% ABV is hidden well. A lip=smacking DIPA.

Juicy, hazy double IPA. Really great taste and mellow vibe. Collaboration with Imprint Beer Co.
