jimhilt (1664), Bow, New Hampshire, USA Apr 24, 2009 Pours a three finger off-white head that fades quickly leaving a good lace. Nice crystal clear red-amber color. Light carbonation and light bodied. Fruity nose. Flavor is lacking - watery sweet without much backbone. Some hops at finish. Contract brewed for Jay Peak Resort by Long Trail. $1.50 for a 12oz bottle from Beverage Warehouse Winooski, VT. Cletus (5001), Connecticut, USA Jan 10, 2009 Pours red with a thin tan head. Smells of citrus, chewable vitamins, earthy. Tastes the same. A decent beer after skiing all day. Darkover (1308), Columbus, Ohio, USA Dec 30, 2008 Clear amber color with a beige head. Aroma of sweet caramel malts. Flavor also of sweet caramel malts. DrDavid (957), Johnson, Vermont, USA Nov 28, 2008 (Bottle, as "Jay Peak Tram Ale"). Malty aroma. Dark amber body, very small off-white head. Flavor is slightly sweet and very mild. Malty finish. Dogbrick (2816), Columbus, Ohio, USA Apr 22, 2008 Bottle brought back by a traveling neighbor (as "Jay Peak Tram Ale"). This brew is a clear dark amber color with a thin and foamy beige head that dissipates slowly. Small patches of lacing. Aroma of sweet toffee and malt. Light, clean body with sweet grainy malt, caramel and fruit flavors. Very little hops are detected. The finish is sweet with caramel malt lingering in the aftertaste. Pretty average overall. ChazyRPh (571), Chazy, New York, USA Jan 30, 2007 Bottle purchased in South Burlington, labelled "Jay Peak Tram Ale". Clear amber pour with a small off white head. Sweet caramelly aroma. Malty flavor, sweet caramel. Not really balanced with hops, mostly chewy malts. Pleasant, good session beer. DYCSoccer17 (2187), Davis, California, USA Sep 9, 2006 12 ounce bottled labelled "Jay Peak Tram Ale". Mildly fruity, a bit sweet, a bit vinous aroma with some caramel malts present. Light DMS detected. Transparent amber/orangey color with a frothy yellowish head. Fairly attractive. Lightly sweet, caramel, and a touch metallic flavoring to start. No hops detected at all, perhaps that is due to age? Nevertheless, this is thin and watery with a light sweetness. Not overly flavorful. Bland and unmemorable. Perfect for the yuppie Green Mountain skiiers. TaktikMTL (2749), Montréal-Nord, Quebec, Canada Feb 6, 2006 Bouteille de 12 oz achetée au Beverage Warehouse (Winooski, VT). Arôme: Odeur de caramel légèrement brûlé. Apparence: Couleur ambrée foncée avec une faible densité de bulle. Présence d’un mince col beige mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre.
