A fingers worth of slightly lopsided bone white colored froth... Color is a pale hazy lemony yellow... Nose of tropical fruit... Non distinct palate profile... Feel is dense and lush... Certainly not my favorite from NTs collaboration series but passable...

Poured into a narrow pint with tulip rim, color is murky yellow gold, head is off white with small bubbles and froth, minimal lacing but lingering top.

Smell citrus juice and pith, tropicals, light spice, hint of booze.

Taste is similar with citrus juice and pith, pineapple, mango, light spice and booziness, a little sweet.

Mouthfeel is low carbonation, moderate sweetness, low bitterness.

Overall a solid hazy DIPA, a little sweet and hint boozy.

Cloudy, vibrant OJ color with a finger-and-a-half of yellowed head. Decent retention and lacing both.

Orange citrus, grass and a hint of Playdoh in the nose.

Spicy, prickly tasting with some sort of peppery herb layered over the citrus character. A little dull pineapple is added to the mix as well. Light grass, herb and pineapple rind temper any sweetness in the finish.

Medium bodied with a little peppery pop from the carbonation complementing the pepper element in the taste.

Decent brew all around. A bit more pepper quality than I prefer. It steps on the other elements a bit.

 

 

 

Pours a hazy straw color with a finger of head. The nose is nice and citrusy. The flavor profile is a combination of tropical fruit and bubble gum. The finish has a slight alcohol taste, which is surprising considering Imprint usually does a really good job masking the booze.

Poured a nice hazy yellow with a sticky white head and lacing. The smell of the beer has a nice hoppy aroma. The taste is well balanced between the malts and hops. The feel is smooth and creamy. Overall a very nice NEIPA.

Part of the New Trail - Trek Two Expedition Pack.

A - Opaque dark orange tan color with frothy white lacing. Kinda looks like dirty bath water. ;o)

S - Tropical fruit, citrus, mango, and some spiciness.

T - Citrus, mango, some herbal character, spicy fruit rind, peppery spice, and pineapple. Finishes on the fruitier sweet side with nice lingering citrus spice on the pallet.

M - Thick and chewy with a pillowy soft body and while very dry on the back of the tongue, the rest of the mouth waters profusely (in a good way). Eventually creates a spicy, earthy citrus coating in the mouth.

O - This is a pretty fantastic D-IPA that makes the price of the Expedition Pack well worth the price.
