Ben & Jerry’s has ruled the ice cream world with its bold flavors and celebrity tie-ins. But this summer, they’ve got fresh competition. Jeni’s Ice Cream just dropped a new limited-edition flavor called Goose Tracks. And it’s turning heads, especially among jam band fans and dessert lovers who want something fun, fruity, and different.
Jeni’s Makes a Move
Jeni’s is known for being bold. Their scoop shops and online pint drops are always buzzing with excitement. But their latest launch adds something special. Goose Tracks is a tribute to the band Goose, a jam band that’s quickly building a loyal following. This release brings together ice cream lovers and music fans in one delicious place.
The name Goose Tracks sounds playful and nostalgic. But the flavor itself is totally original. It’s not Moose Tracks. It’s not Ben & Jerry’s Phish Food. It’s something else entirely. And that’s exactly what makes it exciting.
The Flavor Breakdown
Goose Tracks isn’t your usual summer scoop. Jeni’s started with a base of black raspberry ice cream. But they didn’t stop there. They added bursts of blackberry and red raspberry. That deep berry flavor gives it a rich, fruity punch. To balance the sweetness, they included bittersweet chocolate chips. Those chips give a snap in every bite.
The result is a bright pink scoop that feels fresh and different. It’s creamy, a little tart, and studded with chocolate that melts just enough. It’s a new twist on a classic black raspberry chip but with Jeni’s signature style.
A Nod to Music Fans
What really makes this flavor stand out is the partnership behind it. Jeni’s worked with Goose, a band often called the modern-day Phish. They’re known for long jam sessions, live shows, and a dedicated fanbase. Phish Food was created by Ben & Jerry’s in the late ’90s with the original jam band Phish. Now Goose Tracks follows in those footsteps, with a flavor that’s both fun and fitting.
Even the pint design ties it all together. The carton features art by Brian Blomerth, the illustrator behind Goose’s latest album “Everything Must Go.” It gives the packaging a bold, artsy vibe that feels just right for fans.
Limited-Time Launch
Jeni’s Goose Tracks launches in scoop shops nationwide starting June 24. It’s also available for a limited time online through Jeni’s website, where fans can order it for nationwide shipping. If you’re a berry chip fan or you just want to try something new, it’s worth snagging a pint before it disappears.
The timing is perfect too. Summer is all about bold flavors, bright colors, and a little bit of fun. Goose Tracks brings all three.
Going Head-to-Head with Ben & Jerry’s
Ben & Jerry’s has built a strong following with flavors like Cherry Garcia, Phish Food, and Half Baked. They even collaborate with late-night hosts and social justice leaders. But Jeni’s is carving its own path. They don’t just mimic what others are doing. Instead, they offer new spins on old favorites.
Goose Tracks may sound like a tribute to Moose Tracks or a nod to Phish Food, but it’s really its own thing. No caramel swirls, no fudge fish. Just fruit-forward flavors with high-quality ingredients and a clever musical tie-in.
Part of a Bigger Summer Lineup
This isn’t the only seasonal scoop from Jeni’s right now. Goose Tracks joins a set of fun summer flavors like Pink Bubble Gum, Toasted S’mores, and Root Beer Float. Each one taps into summer memories and playful vibes.
While Ben & Jerry’s focuses on chunk-heavy ice cream, Jeni’s goes for bold ingredients and smooth textures. It’s a different kind of experience, and one that fans clearly love.
The Ice Cream Trend Continues
This year has been big for music-inspired frozen treats. Friendly’s recently launched a Jonas Brothers flavor called The 20th Anniversary. It blends Coffee Cookie Crumble, Chocolate Marshmallow, and Vanilla side-by-side in one tub. It’s clear that more brands are exploring celebrity and band partnerships.
But Jeni’s Goose Tracks stands out. It’s not just a name on a label. The whole flavor profile, the artwork, and the concept feel thoughtfully made. It’s a scoop that tells a story.
Where to Get It
If you’re near a Jeni’s scoop shop, head in starting June 24 to try Goose Tracks by the cone or by the pint. If you don’t have a shop nearby, Jeni’s online store offers nationwide shipping for limited-edition flavors. These special runs usually sell out fast, so it’s best to act quickly.
And while it may not be around forever, Goose Tracks will likely become one of those flavors fans ask to bring back year after year.
Try It Before It’s Gone
Goose Tracks is more than just a cute name or a one-time gimmick. It’s a reminder that ice cream can be creative, meaningful, and fun. It blends music, flavor, and fandom in a way that feels fresh and current. Whether you’re a die-hard Goose fan or just curious about new summer flavors, this one is worth checking out.
