Our signature New England style IPA, Trailblazer hits you with a bouquet of fresh citrus from the first crack of the can. A copious amount of Citra hops impart bold resinous orange characteristics with light tropical undertones and finishes with an onslaught of pithy grapefruit zest.

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Fruity hoppy aroma with citrus, orange, some pine, grass, grapefruit, some oniony herbal dankness. Flavour is moderate sweet with a relatively bitter finish. Body is medium. Fairly juicy, citrussy and a bit dank, pretty bitter, solid.

On tap at Man in the Moon, Stockholm. Hazy golden with a medium white head. Fairly soft and easy to drink with citrus, malt and some tropical fruit. The finish was on the low side. A decent one.

Can leftover from Homebrewcon, Thanks Todd for helping me bring this home. Hazy golden orange in color with a decent bubbly white head that persists. Sweet bready malt earthy citrus and tropical resin to counter. Pretty nice beer.

Can sourced from Beerdome and shared at home (15/06/2019) - hazy golden orange with a white head. Intense fruity with some punchy tangerine and mango notes, nice and juicy, medium body, touch of citrus rind bitterness into the solid hoppy close.

Piney and citrusy, hoppy aroma, hints of pineapple, some lemon, grapefruit, green apple. Taste is dry and slightly bitter, piney and citrusy hoppy, minimally sweet malty basis with a touch of peanut, hints of pineapple, green apple, some grapefruit. So-so.
