A hop forward lager that manages the complex task of highlighting the citrus and floral aromas of hops while
respecting the depth of flavor provided by malts. Our India Pale lager displays our Vermont roots with a vibrant
grapefruit peel on the nose, and finishes crisp and clean.

from a tall-boy can. Thanks Grant for sharing. very pale golden, 2 finger creamy white head. smells nice, a little nutty and sweet paired with a light wheat aroma and pine. thin mouthfeel, tons of older hops with a lot of pine here. not sure how I feel about the hop onslaught. Decent beer.

Bottle at home, I like me some IPL and been wanting to try Von trapp for a bit. Orangey gold big pillowy head. Nose is floral hops and some bready notes. Tastes floral, some grass, light peppery tones, sourdough, Pilsner malt. Slight sticky palate and lingering hops.

12 oz. bottle purchased at Prost, North Hampton, NH. Nearly clear gold with just a slight haze. Aroma shows a light lemon peel with a mild floral hop presence. Pilsner malt is also evident.
The flavor is exactly as the aroma leads you to believe. Pilsner malt backbone with a mild bitterness after the sip from Floral hops. No date code on the bottle but this must be a fresher bottling. Hops are alive and doing well. Good lighter body with a fresh mouthfeel. It is a nice IPL.

Can from a Lazy dog. Mostly clear deep yellow with a tightly bubbles white head that persists and leaves spotty lace on the sides. Sweet bready pilsner malt and a crap ton of spicy floral lemony hops. Lingering hop bite in the finish. Pretty nice hoppy lager.

This was poured into a pilsener glass.
The appearance was a soft hazy yellow color with a slight transparency to it. Carbonation could be seen rising at a moderate pace to fill a one finger white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Semi-moderate lacing runs here and there.
The smell takes the crisp sweet floral hops to bounce upon some delicate smooth sweet bready malts.
The taste was basically the same with a sly little bite of the floral hops sliding into the aftertaste and then on into the finish whish is somewhat sticky wet.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a crisp sweet sessionability about it. Carbonation rides fairly low so some stickiness runs about, nothing overbearing, feels good and still some light hop harshness comes to give it a slight bitter/harshness, why, well, it just does.
Overall, as an India pale lager, I’d say it’s a good one, definitely fits everything von Trapp says it should. I’d have this again.
