Named for the historic trail that runs through our neck of the woods, this American IPA is full of flavor. A beautiful, deep, golden beer, it's heavily hopped for a tastebud adventure. So grab your rucksack and your pint, and come visit our side of glaciation.Named for the historic trail that runs through our neck of the woods and heavily hopped for a full-on taste bud adventure, Glacial Trail is an exceptionally well-balanced American IPA. Delightfully piney with a sturdy backbone of malt and a deep golden hue.

Old rating from 07-06-16 - 355ml bottle, brought from Whole Foods in New York City on my recent trip. Poured back at home in Jersey, it's a clear amber colour with a very small white head. Aromas of citrus & caramel. Tastes of citrus, caramel, orange, biscuit & grass leading to a medium citrus bitterness finish.

Sampled from the bottle at the St. Paul Summer Beer Fest. Pours a clear orange gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a bit of resin with touch of grass and pine as well as a grain backbone. Flavor has sweet grain and resin that comes off a bit syrupy.

Location: 12 oz bottle at Frontera Grill, 7/1/14
Aroma: The nose of this onehas some caramel, orange, pine, and a bit of bready notes as well
Appearance: The pour is a clear orange-amber color with a beige head and some light lace
Flavor: The flavor is along the same lines as the nose, with a balanced and solid flavor
Palate: The body is medium, with a solid mouthfeel, and a decent finish
Overall Impression: I thought this was a very okay example of the IPA style, but not a great beer. It's fine, but nothing too exciting.
