| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 8, 2009 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. caresville (106), Vernon, New Jersey, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 9, 2009 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. maniac (2628), Richmond, Virginia, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 26, 2009 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. tgncc (840), Bellmore, New York, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 22, 2009 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.
