A very juicy ipa smooth body sweet with a very hidden ABV. Not too bitter or hop forward very smooth crisp body kind of mango sweet IPA. Would have it again especially if I can find another for a couple bucks!

Poured from a 16 oz can into a Dogfish Head tulip
L: Hazed medium golden pour with big fluffy white head. Lasts awhile... great lacing.
S: Sweets... honey and citrus.
T.F: Semi-sweet to start. Grains and honey mixed with tangerine and tropical hops. Pineapple and peach. A bit of rind and spice. Smooth and sticky mouthfeel. Medium bodied. Creamy carbonation. Fruit cocktail finish. ABV super well hidden.
O: An excellent triple IPA. A little on the sweet side... booze hidden, and great tropical/fruity hops. A great annual pickup.

Slightly more than a fingers worth of off-white colored froth... Color is a medium hazy golden yellow... Nose is more subdued than expected but highlighted tangerines and a musky character... Flabor is consistent with the nose but everything is dialed up a notch (or two)... On the fuller side of medium bodied... Lush and buttery... A unique and highly enjoyable brew...

Undated (WTF) can into pint glass. Pours a murky amber with a substantial off-white head. Great lacing. Initial impression is very juicy citrus, pink grapefruit, pine resin, tangerine, peach, and berries, with a nice caramel backbone. Mouthfeel is soft and smooth; alcohol is extremely well hidden. Finish is juicy and sweet, but not cloying. Overall, this is an excellent TIPA. New Trail has ventured into fruited kettle sours recently and had me worried, but Third Orbit is a comforting reentry into what they do best!
