Trail Series North Country Trail (2021) from North Country. Picked up at Franklin Beer, Franklin, Pa. $ 4.00 (Including tax)/16 oz can ($ 0.25oz) on 07/10/21. In reefer at store, stored at 37 degrees at home. Reviewed 18/06/22. Note that I use DD/MM/YY protocol.
Stamped on bottom of can “CANNED 06/11/21”. Served at 47.8 degrees in a hand washed and dried Jester King Snifter. Final temperature 55.7 degrees.
Appearance – 3.25
First pour – Straw (SRM 3), hazy.
Body – Straw (SRM 4), opaque. When rear-lite, translucent. Light precipitate (Unfiltered).
Head – Large (Maximum 6.2 cm, aggressive center pour), white, high-density, short retention, diminishing to a 0.6 to 1.2 cm jagged crown and a thin partial cap.
Lacing – Fair. Multiple tiny islands remain as the head retracts
Aroma – 4 – Burst of pine when the tab was popped. Settles into faint citrus and fainter dankness. No malt, no yeast.
Flavor – 4 – Basically dank with bitter citrus on the lingering aftertaste. No ethanol (11 % ABV as marked on label) aroma or taste. Weak gastric warming. No dimethylsulfide or diacetyl.
Palate – 4 – Full, almost creamy, soft but lively carbonation.
Final impression and summation: 3.75 Very smooth DIPA with well-hidden ethanol. The citrusy hops have dropped off after a year in the can, leaving mostly dankness and piney resins, although the pine is most evident in the nose.
