Long Trail Hit the Trail Ale

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

Bottle. Light brown, off-white, small head. Kind of a middle of the road brown ale. Thin in finish, lacking malt depth and not enough hops in finish. Not really a poor example of the style, just average.

pretty malty and one demnional for an ale. Hops were missing, seemed like a stale lager. looked good brown with a thin white head.

Light brown coloured. Slightly malty aroma and flavour. Quite weak and rather light bodied. A boring brew.

very easy to drink for a brown ale. good head and color and very easy on the palate. slightly sweet and no bad aftertaste. one of my favorites though not avaiable year round in my neck of the woods

bottled 12/22/04 - amber pour with a scant white head. Very unpleasant initial aroma, reminds me of bad yeast. Kinda funky malt aroma too. Sweet malt to start, sugars last throughout. Thin mouthfeel, a hint of roasted malt to finish. A lingering bitterness. The aroma, lack of head, and light color are detriments to its style. I am fairly disappointed in this.

Sugary sweetness is like a punch in the taste buds. Roasted barley and molasses taste lingers long after it’s swallowed. Body seems full at first but finishes cleanly on the palate, leaving a warm, heavy feeling in my gut.

Grassy aroma, slight foam, dark brown color. This brown ale had trouble getting out of the gate and never won over my taste buds.

Detected some molasses, nutmeg, slight sourness. Crisp beer, vaguely hopped, not much body.
