Long Trail Brewmaster Series Double IPA

pours out cloudy golden oarnge with a nice thick frothy head that is white and produces nice lacing. the body is a cloudy golden sunset color with few bubbles rising from the bottom. the aromas are a spicy hoppy kick with strong pine and apple hit that almost smells like diluted pine sol. the taste is really spicy but balanced out really well with the malt and it leaves a nice yet strong bitter aftertaste that does not kill your tatstebuds when it finishes. it has good palatibilty for this style and is medium bodided and has nice carbonation that leaves a really nice mouth feel. really good beer for the price, probally worth more.

Pours a three finger white head that fades slowly to a thin layer leaving a good lace. Cloudy amber color. Medium carbonation and medium bodied. Light hoppy nose. Flavor is sweet grapefruit hops and some caramel. Slight bitter finish. $4.99 for a 22oz bottle from Beverage Warehouse Winooski, VT.

22oz bomber via trade with zathrus13, thanks jeff! pours a clear, slightly lighter shade of gold with a thick, rocky white head and great lacing. aroma is very nice with notes of fresh piney, grassy, and peppery hops with notes of orange and white grapefruit citrus and a touch of light caramel malts. flavor is very good as well with big, juicy, citrus hops notes of orange, tangerine, and grapefruit up front with a unique floral sweetness, light pine, and sweet, bready malts leaving a bitter, juicy, citrus finish. palate is medium bodied smooth with nice carbonation and a touch of alcohol. overall, a very nice DIPA.

22oz bomber from Supreme Liquors, Cambridge MA, 22 October 2009. Gold colour with diminishing white head. Slight haze (bottle conditioned). Quite peppery hop aroma. Not particularly fragrant. Powerfully bitter hop flavour. with strong marmalade/Seville orange notes. Slightly astringent but fairly sweet and a touch slick in the mouthfeel, although still tart and refreshing. Lingering bittersweet aftertaste. Some alcohol heat. An assertive but not especially aromatic strong IPA. Very tasty though.

650 ml bottle. From the US (H). Shared with Brandman. Golden colour with small off-white head. American hoppy aroma with hints of alcohol. Strong piney resiny hoppy flavour with some alcohol. Hoppy aftertaste.

Poured hazy gold with a thin white head. Aroma of grapefruit and pine. Citrusy flavor upfront with some pine and finished boozy. Kind of thin for a double but not a bad price.
