aplusbreaks (185), , Colorado, USA Jan 4, 2009 Bottle thanks to jah noth. Pours amber in color with a quickly diminishing white head. Aromas of sweet malts, caramel, vanilla, and some fruit notes. Flavors up front are sweet malts, also a bit fruity. Finish is moderately hoppy and bitter. halfonit (104), Fall River, Massachusetts, USA Dec 25, 2008 A nice and smooth, strong brew. Has hints of malts and hops. Nice dark gold/light brown color. Tastes of of smooth malts with very light hops. Not too much carbonation in this brew which is a very pleasant attribute. Has a nice easy and smooth aftertaste. This is great brew from Long Trail. Good job guys.
