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.

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.

Jul 20, 2009 12 oz bottle while vacationing in NY. It has fairly light yet pleasant aroma. Caramel cookie, lemony grass, and malted cereal grains. A smaller pour with a standard white head, light-medium body, and honey amber color. This one overall is pretty well balanced but nothing crazy, with similar notes in the aroma and flavor. Notes of lemon grass, toffee-caramel cookie, grass, Euro/German grains, and a nice bitter finish. It also has a light body but not watery, and without took much kick as well. Not bad, nothing crazy, but quite drinkable.

Jul 6, 2009 Though not my favorite style, this tastes like an altbier should--which is great, for an American brew! No frills, this is straight altbier.

Jun 28, 2009 Nice smooth beer, medium bodied with pretty good sweet hop flavor. Hops are not very strong, and not in the least bit bitter. Pours a copper color with minimal white head. Aroma is nothing great, similar to that of a pale lager. This is a pretty descent beer, but nothing special.
