Long Trail Harvest Ale

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

Bottle. Reddish copper with small white head. Aromas of vanilla, chocolate, maple, nuts, and spice. Flavors of vanilla, chocolate, nutmeg, maple and nuts. A little watery, especially toward the back. Wish I could find more points for it.

Always been happy with Long Trails offerings. Solid and well rounded beers, this offering is no exception. Nose is a soft roasted malts. Pour is a chestnut with the thinnest of frothy white head atop. Taste is of toasted cereals, sweet malts, and nuts. The slightest accent of spruce & lemon to lift up the palate. Body is Medium-Light. Highly sessionable, recommended.

Its an okay mix of caramel and what seems like a small mix of nutmeg, coffee and spices. Some bitter hops in the finish but the malty sweetness up front stands out. Easy to drink too. Its a joy compared to the blackberry wheat which sits next to it in the variety pack.

bottle poured a cola like color with a thin off white head. aroma has nuts, malt, sweetness, and an interesting cocoa coffee thing. lighter side mouth feel with plenty of carbonation. flavor has nice brown malt, nuts, earth, sweetness, and muted hops. good session level fall time type beer.

Draft at Old Bay. Pours an awesome looking deep amber color with red highlights. Minimal off white head dissapates quickly. Sweet malts are strong with a nutty toffee aroma. Nice and smooth medium body. Malts are the most noticeable flavor with their caramel nutty taste. The finish is sweet, not dry or bitter. Little hop presence, not a bad brown ale.

Draft. Pours a dark amber with an offwhite head. Aroma is nutty, a bit of sweet caramel malt and some earthy hopping. Smells like autumn. Flavor is a little less convincing. Malty with a bit of toffee sweetness and a tiny bit of hop bitterness, but these are mostly overpowered by the malt. Overall very decent. Tasty, but not inspiring.

I though this was pretty solid. Had some on draught in Vermont. Poured a lovely, light amber-brown with a fine head. Aroma of sweet malts. Flavor was rich with a nice malty character and notes of caramel and minor hop presence. Very smooth, clean finish. Would make a great beer to session.

Draft at the Court Jester. Almost has an Irish Red quality to it. Roasted coffee, somewhat smokey flavor and aroma. Good brew. Some other raters say watered down or light beer like. They must be drinking something else cause in no way shape or form did I get that from this brew. Not a great but good.
