Pours amber with modest tan head. Aromas were slightly lacking.. mostly just malt and a hint of spice. Flavor wasn’t too much better- not at all complex bitterly astringent hops with a medium malt presence. Good for the price.

Appearance: Dark coppery orange, thin beige head. Aroma: Malty, spicy and earthy. Nutmeg, hint of cherry and honey. Palate: Medium. Flavor: Caramel, honey, earthy, nutty, hops are noticeable. Overall: Not a bad beer from Long Trail. Probably one of their better brews.

Can def. notice the unfiltered aspects of the beer. Aroma and Appearance. A murky copper color. Flavor is pleasant to start, but a longing aftertaste that requires faster drinking.

So I want to like long trail. I enjoyed Double Bag but this one did not have much flavor at all. Aroma is boring as well as taste. Bland and watery. Clear, so much for unfiltered.

pours a nice copper with a white head. nice lacing. aroma is brown sugar, nice malt, a dab of spice and earthy notes with a hint of bourbon. taste is creamy and round with some smokey wood, burnt brown sugar and earth. kind of faint; it has all the niced flavors but they aren’t strong enough. mid-full bodied with a gentle bitterish aftertaste. would be a good addition to a session, but by no means will it knock your socks off. not terrible, but not amazing, and better then most of long trail’s other offerings.

Oh, hmm.... I was actually thinking that this was a brown ale and I suppose it was. Poured on draft at a restaurant, so I don’t know if they got the head right, but it was beige and dissipated into a nice lacing. Muddy brwn body. Sugary malt aroma and taste. Little sweetness. A lot of malts. As earlier reviewer said, not really that complex, bt definitely not that bad either.

this is an easy drinking beer. I dissagree with the commerical description - it is not complex at all. it’s an average beer.
