Tröegs - more label re-designs

Think there was a thread on the new art recently--and they seem to have an advertisement in the most recent issue of BA, which shows a Solid Sender Ale, which I don't know much about.

 

That's it. Agree that I'm not overjoyed with the new NN art.

 

Right. I just don't see the desire/need to reboot. My immediate thoughts are black guitar pick too.

Cursory research on the Solid Sender: apparently uses Cascade and Mosaic hops, 5.2% ABV and 45 IBUs. Anyone out there having tasted it yet?

 

Looks like the re-design is rolling out:

 

Eh, I like the rebrand. It doesn't change the beer for me. Troegs makes quality beer.

 

I appreciate that some are bound to like/prefer the old art, and others the new. But no one's suggested the good beer has changed.

 

Cant say that im a fan of the cartoonish looking Troegenator. Nugget nectar was seemingly perfect in its former design...especially in those sharp looking pounder cans. The new look is certainly....ugh different?

 

Here's my unsolicited opinion...

I like all the new art much better...logo, designs, everything...new NN design included. Not that I disliked the old stuff, but the newer designs look much more..."crafty"?

 

We agree on hops...but apparently not drawings of hops.

 

I like it a lot better...always thought the old Troegs labels had too much going on.

 

I like the old brewery logo much better. It looks much more professional. As for the label designs, I don't really care either way.

 

I am not impressed with the new labels.

 

I like the old labels better but the photo several posts above alerted me to the fact that Hop Knife is apparently canned, which I did not know.
Will be looking for this because (IMO) canned IPAs are always better and the new design guarantees freshness.

 

The new Troegenator one makes the beer look kinda washed out and weak.
