16oz can into a pint glass. NO freshness dating.
Looks outstanding in the glass. Hazy pineapple/pear juice body. Big bright white head retains well, leaves layers of lacing.
Nice soft fruity non citrus aroma.
On tasting, well, it tastes like so many other NE ipas, from this brewery and others, soft, fruity, juicy, etc, etc. It's a good taste, but there is nothing memorable about it.
Mouth close to full, finish fruity and a little warm.
Overall, maybe my palate is getting jaded, but recently all this style taste similar. Have NT Frost in the fridge, maybe that will be more memorable.

Undated (WTF) can into pint glass. Pours a very hazy medium-light gold with a brief off-white head. Good lacing. Initial impression is juicy mango, pineapple, and orange rind. Mouthfeel is fairly thick but refreshing. Finish is slightly sweet, fading to a spicy bitterness. Overall, another excellent DIPA from New Trail.

A - Opaque light golden tan color with dense bright white creamy foam resting on top.
S - Citrus, peach, and mango on the nose.
T - Pithy citrus, bitter peach, mango, and finishes balanced with an underlying resiny peach citrus and some earthiness.
M - Big medium body that's borderline chewy.
O - A solid IPA.
