Commercial Description:
This full bodied amber ale is modeled after the "altbiers" of Dusseldorf, Germany. Our top fermenting yeast and cold finishing temperature result in a complex, yet clean, full flavor.

Smells strongly of sweet caramel malts. Taste is watery with a distinct lack of the sweet malts you smell. Not bad, but nothing to write home about

This one was a pretty good hit, nice smooth caramel taste and some decent hop profile. Maybe a little bit too clear, but I could drink alot of these without having to sacrifice flavor. A real good balance between malt and hop that doesnt go further than it needs to.

On tap. Aroma of caramel malt, flowery hops. Flavor takes a step back into light-bodied sweetness. A decent beer that has many superior friends.

On tap. Pours a clear dark amber with a small white head. Aroma of sweet malt. Flavor of sweet malt, some flowery hops. Palate is slightly watery compared to other light-bodied pale ales, alts, or ambers, but it’s not terrible. Very drinkable and a nice option on tap.

4/20/08 notes: bottle. Nose of soft malts and some wood, nothing too prominent. Mouthfeel is soft, with medium thickness. Flavor is sweet with a slight hop character, earthy notes and caramel. A simple, well-blended ale/alt good for sessioning.

Poured copper/dark yellow with a foamy white head. Smells light of nuts and malty. The taste is nutty and malty with a little sweetness and a hint of spice. Kind of a creamy mouthfeel. Clean all around, with a good finish. Not bad.

Pours a cloudy copper colour with a small white head. Aroma is sweet, caramel and light roasted malts. Taste is nutty, creamy and acidic. Flavors of cinnamon, pomegranate and charleston chew.

Naming this beer an ’Ale" instead of an ’Altbier’ may be a blunder on Long Trail’s marketing department. This is a copper bodied, spiced malt beer with a hint of dough yeast and some bitterness would be better named ’Long Trail Alt’. It’s Ale qualities are definitely influenced from the Rhineland and not the Union Jack.
