Feb 22, 2007 Wow, this tastes just like every other beer they make. It’s a pleasant house character, but of-fputting all the same. Sweet and lightly floral. Actually, very floral. That’s the majority of the hop flavor, with some orange as well. Candy-like sweetness from the malt. i definitely appreciate the unfiltered creamy mouthfeel. Medium bodied and rich. Really not bitter. it’s a stretch to call it an IPA, but it’s a nice American pale ale.

Feb 20, 2007 Updated: Apr 28, 2009Sample from 12 oz bottle. Hazy golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. Peachy, perfumed aroma. Fresh peachy hop flavours accompany a light caramel introduction. Medium bodied, juicy. Against the grain with this one, I guess, but it was all peaches and I like peaches.

Feb 20, 2007 Bottle. Poured a cloudy orange with lots of floaties and a medium white head leaving spotty lacing. Another bottle poured just a bit hazy with no floaties. Aroma mostly flat and doughy, with some citrusy and peachy hop scents trying to escape from underneath. A citrus hoppiness does show up more in the flavor, but it is mostly restrained and/or subdued by the unfiltered body. Not a bad beer overall, but there’s really nothing here for an IPA fan to get worked up over.

Feb 11, 2007 12oz bottle-pours a big foamy to rocky white head that laces and hazy yellow/gold color. Aroma is nice perfumy, sweet apricot/lemon-hops. Taste is mild perfumy, slight bitterness, sweet lemon hops, secondary medium malt. Some raw/dry hops at the finish. OK/mild carbonation. Nice session IPA.

Feb 1, 2007 12 oz bottle. Orange color with some ’stuff’ floating around in it.... I suppose it’s the stuff that normally gets filtered out. I’m not particularly fond of IPAs but will drink them in the variety packs. I try not to keep my personal preferences from tainting my rating, but just compare one beer to another. This is not as bitter as some I’ve had, which I prefer, but as for the unfiltered, I’m not keen about having stuff floating around in my brew. Sorry IPA fans.

Jan 15, 2007 I tend to give these guys higher ratings than the average, which is unusual for me but here again I find this beer prety damn refreshing. Lightly cloudy, apricot colr with decent head and lacing. Nice hop nose followed by quenching citrus and hop spiciness in a fairly well balanced beer.

Jan 5, 2007 Cloudy dark golden color with distinct orange....a light scented brew with a crisp flavor profile like the original long trail ale...very tasty straight out of the bottle...not the greatest IPA aftertaste almost as if the citrus fruits are starting to turn a tad..oh man i turned a 40 to a 39...:(
