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.

On tap at Clery’s, Boston MA, 28 September 2009. Nice clear dark amber colour. Thin off-white head. Soft malt aroma. More on the palate. Some tangy hop. A touch of bubblegum. Smooth mouthfeel. Fairly dry finish. Well-tempered but unremarkable.

Realized I hadn’t rated this so stuck it in a mixed six pack. Amber pour aroma is light malt sweetness with a bit of flowery hops. Mouthfeel is light and a bit crisp. Flavor is malty, a bit grainy and grassy in the middle and some slight bitterness on the finish. Overall ok, once again from long trail nothing overly impressive, but nothing bad.

Bottle. Looks similar to the Double Bag, its big bro, but pales in comparison in taste and aroma. Drink the Double Bag first, blows this beer out the water.

Bottle courtesy of MaltDawg on 06/27/2009. Bottled in 04/2009. Clear golden amber body with a medium frothy off-white head. Sweet honey and pale malt aroma with some grassy hops. Sweet caramel, honey, and pale malt flavor, some faint hoppy notes, slight metallic notes. Medium light body with moderate carbonation.

Another solid beer from Long Trail. In fact, I’ve yet to encounter a beer from them that I’d consider subpar. Drinking this gives you thoughts of the deep woods on a fall day. A bit of spice and musk in the aroma and a similar taste. Definitely one of the better flagship beers amongst Northeast breweries.

Pleasing aroma of caramel, cookie dough, and light piney hops rises right to the nose. The color is an orange/light brown, a little light in color for an altbier. The flavor has a slight mettalic quality, but otherwise follows the aroma, caramel, bread. The finish is more like a noble hop bittering, somewhat fleeting, but clean. The mouthfeel is thin/medium. Not bad at all. Not as enjoyable as its big brother, the Double bag, but good.
