Wildflower
New Trail Brewing Company

 

 

 

16oz can into a pint glass. Canned 6/17/25, so almost 4 weeks old.

Pale yellow hazy body. Small off white head persists throughout, streaks of lacing. Aroma is mildly of floral hops. On tasting, the floral notes are the base, with some earlier hits of lime, and later some pine. Finish is smooth and soft thanks to the oats, and a very faint lime presence. Slightly drying.

Overall, a very pleasant beer that goes down very easy. I'll take this over 24/7 365 days a year.

Pours a hazy, opaque yellow/green almost leaning towards white with a frothy white head and lively carbonation floating up.

Lime, raspberry, wild flowers, and piney earth in the nose.

Taste follows nose with a very lively mouth feel and a nicely subdued complexity.

 

A very nice lower ABV hazy IPA.

Standard haze. Somewhat restrained floral, fruity aroma. Really like the prominent limey Motueka note. Rest of palate is mostly piney. Not the smoothest but still goes down easy.

Slight off white head of crisp bubbles... Color is a slightly hazed pale straw color... Mostly still... Tropical notes highlighted by pineapple, mango and kiwi... A light malt base lies beneath the surface... Palate is a bit of a surprise... No tropicals to speak of, rather loads of cracker and biscuit... The hops take on a more noble character... Feel is medium bodied and crisp... Some spry carbonation... Okayish beer... Good bit a bit subpar compared to most New Trail offerings...
