Long Trail Tram Ale

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

Pours red with a thin tan head. Smells of citrus, chewable vitamins, earthy. Tastes the same. A decent beer after skiing all day.

Red copper ale with light brown head. Light caramle malt and faint hops. Sweet malt and light hops in mouth. Average body.

Mar 2002 Bottled. Very dark brown, yet transparent color; medium, stable head. Aroma somewhat weak, but with interesting characteristics of bitter herbs and caramel. Flavor chocolaty and hoppy, with quite bitter, long finish. Body a little thin. Not as good as the brewer's Double Bag, but recommendable. Jan 2004 Marginally less interesting; starts out reasonably well, but where's the body? Wateriness is only good for ... water.

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.

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.

Aroma:light toffee aroma... Appearance:amber light head.... Flavor:Malt flavor,sweet malt.......

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.
