Long Trail Double Bag

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

Bottle. Copper in colour, thin white head. The aroma was of light citrus hops and some sweet caramel malts. The flavour was malty (some cookie dough, caramel), Medium body, medium carbonation. Finishes with a mild bitterness, some citrus. Not bad.

Sweet malt aroma. Nice looking dark copper with lacing. Tastes sweet at first, then the roasted malt and hops finishes it off nicely. Some clove in there as well. My only complaint is a somewhat sticky mouthfeel. Otherwise , a teriffic ale.

Thanks to ChazyRPH for this beer.

Pours an effervescent dark amber with a fizzy off-white head which dissipates completely. Somewhat muffled aroma of fruity malt with a touch of hops. Taste is dominated primarily by hops, but the malt backbone is perceivable. Some light fruit and toffee show themselves eventually. Pretty clean and smooth. The strength shows through in the taste. Pretty decent strong ale.

Couleur ambrée, faible mousse blanche concassée. Fruités, citrons et poivre blanc sont envahis par la forte présence minérale. Léger malt caramel, toujours très minéral, un brin de soufre est aussi présent. Impression de salée arrive vers la fin, suivie d’une relativement courte amertume. Je ne reconnais malheureusement à peine le style et style à part, je ne suis pas certain de comprendre ce qu’ils ont essayé de faire ici. Échantillon au American Beer Fest, Boston, 18 Juin 2005.

Bottle: Courtesy of OldGrowth via trade. Aroma is very malty with caramel and some nuttiness. Pours a transparent amber with a white head that lasts a minute or so. Flavor is very nutty with caramel and honey in the background. Finish is moderately hoppy with some roastiness as well. Hops linger for some time in the aftertaste. Mouthfeel is a litte thin.

this beer packs a good punch. strong alcohal flavor. nice dark copper color. my first sample of long trail

Pours a light brown with small creamy off-white head. Aroma is slightly fruity. Very malty and somewhat hoppy. Finish is moderately bitter, moderately sweet. Complex beer that really delivers.

Light brown overall, but with amber and orange. Little head. Aroma is not very strong. Some sweet mats, fruitness and a milt hint of alcohol. Flavor is vcery smooth upfront, almost creamy. Clean malts; carmel roastey, and definately sweet. Shour malts also come in and mix with a bit of a hop feel at the finish. Definately a good offering, although the flavor was more plesant then the aroma.
