Snow Angel
New Trail Brewing Company

(39 days old) Standard haze, though a bit lighter hued. Moderately juicy aroma. Citrus and passionfruit flavor with an earthy piney finish. Vivid flavors, fresh tasting. The perfect beer for today's less-than-historic snow storm.

New Trail Brewing Co. "Snow Angel"
$7 / 16 fl. oz. can @ Stella A's Bar & Grill, Lock Haven, PA on 5/16/2025

Look: A hazy golden-orange body is capped by a fluffy head of white foam that holds fairly well and leaves some decent lacing about the glass.
Smell: Malty with dull tropical fruitiness.
Taste: Malty, but not as malty as the aroma suggests as there's a whole lot more hop flavor coming through in the flavor than the aroma. Notes of oats, wheat, passion fruit, nectarine, sweet red berries, sweetened pink grapefruit, citrus, dull herbs, earthiness, and spiciness. Its bitterness is on the lower end but it's balanced nicely by some alcohol and the earthy spiciness.
Feel: Medium bodied with a fuller feel due to all of the excess proteins from the oats and wheat. Gently crisp and then smooth and creamy.
Overall: An excellent take on the juicy NEIPA style.

Pours a hazy pale orange with a frothy white head that hangs around and leaves trails of lace.

Smells of citrus and pine with notes of bitter herb and a slight sour dough bread note.

Taste is bitter/sweet orange with pine and spruce notes followed by bitter herb and sour dough.

 

Poured from a 16 oz can into a Dogfish Head tulip

L: Hazed dull medium golden pour. Big fluffy white head leaves outstanding lacing.

S: Tropical papaya and melon mixed with citrus.

T.F: Semi-sweet up front. Light grains and fruit. Tropicals... mango, papaya, and guava. Tangerine and grapefruit rind with a little peppercorn/spice. Dank... some vegetable character... pineapple and earth. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Medium bodied. The finish is sweet tropicals and citrus.

O: Another in a long line of 'very good' New Trail Hazy DIPA's. Very drinkable.

Poured into a narrow pint glass: color is straw, dense haze, bright white head with fine bubbles, head presents 1/2 inch thick with lacing, but dissipates quickly.

Smell is citrus, melon, apricot, pineapple, then some decent cattiness from the simcoe blending to pine like notes.

Taste is similar - citrus, pineapple, melon, lime like citrus, pine, earth, light oat, fairly sweet, limited booziness.

Mouthfeel is low carbonation, moderate sweetness, light/moderate bitterness, drying.

Overall a sweeter double hazy IPA but I like the hop blend on this spin of the New Trail hazy IPA wheel.

A nice enough drinking experience. 8.5% abv well hidden. Nice looking beer-opaque, decent head with great retention and lacing. Quite drinkable and very juicy-like drinking citrus juice. Not a lot of hop bitterness to speak of. Mouthfeel is a little thin when compared to top breweries making this style.
