Long Trail Ale

Brewed by Long Trail Brewery
Style: Altbier
Bridgewater Corners, Vermont USA

Bottle. Beer fits more with macro brews, nothing wrong with it but nothing too special unless everything else is Bud, Coors, Miller, etc don’t drink this.

12 oz bottle from my first and last trip to Forbes Liquors in Brick. Honey amber body with a large foamy off white head. Aroma of english toffee, grain, slighty grassy citrus hop notes. Thinner bodied with very noticable carbonation. Malty flavor with some toffee and biscuit a touch of wet cardboard. Drinkable but unimpressive.

Draught @ Frank Pepe’s pizza in New Haven. Dark amber. Thick white head. Caramel aroma. Bland but detectable hops. Quaffable and clean at first but gets pretty darn sweet after a while. Too much caramel.

From a 12oz bottle brought back by Brian on his trip home to Vermont, this brew pours a copper color with a large head and ample carbonation. Light fruit aroma along with some caramel malt and hops. Decent smooth taste - nothing that will knock your socks off but certainly very drinkable.

1-12oz. bottle as part of the survival pack. Smooth clean taste with a earthy (grass over barn) aftertaste.

Bottle. Aroma is light floral and malty, tad bit of skunk in there. Pours a nice copper tone with a short lived fluffy head. Taste is light hops, bread, and a bit of fruit and malt on the lower levels. Theres kind of a tang near the end, but not like in a bad, budweiser sort of way. The finish is fruity, floral and bready. Mouthfeel could use some body, but not offensively light. Somehow, lots of flavors but not much excitement in this beer. I’d drink it again, though.

33 cl bottle, Boston, MA, USA. Pure amber colour, frothy head. Somewhat skunky floral aroma. Sweet first sip then some bitterness on the finish, bready as well.

(12oz bottle, courtesy of mar) Pours a light yellow body with a small off-white head. Aroma of grass, light citrus, caramel, and florals. Flavor of mild hops (floral, citrus, earthy), biscuit, and grain.
