Long Trail Unfiltered IPA

Brewed by Long Trail Brewery
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Bridgewater Corners, Vermont USA

Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Hazy golden, mid-sized airy head. Appley nose. Fairly sweet with medium body. Fruity and a bit grainy with notes of hay and orange. Much less aromatic and with less bling bling and shiny hop surface than most American IPAs. Instead it is in possession of depth and soul. This, minus the appley nose, would be something great. Finishes with increasing balanced bitterness. A timid, introvert IPA, made for those who look beyond the search for BIG flavours.

very good ipa to session on.not to much of a bitterness,just a nice hoppy bite in the finish.unfiltered but not to the point of chunky droppings in the beer,slightly hazed.

Poured a slightly hazed light gold with a medium white head. Grapefruit and orange aroma with some paper notes. Light grapefruit and very light malt. Thin light body. Hardly any bitterness on the finish.

Draft - Pours a quite hazy amber in color with a small off-white head. Aroma is medium citrus hoppy with a hint of malt. Flavor follows pretty closely with more hops present in the flavor. While this is definitely not an outstanding IPA, it is easy drinking and enjoyable... a decent session beer.

A nice unfiltered IPA which pours a bit milky as expeced. Mild hop taste and a very smooth finish!

Bottle. Poured cloudy light amber with a nice white head...some lacing. Aroma is slightly hoppy, slightly malty, and slightly something else I can’t put my finger on, maybe some sort of spice exclusive to this beer. Anyway, not an overly impressive IPA but nicely balanced with the hops and malts perfectly in sync. Other than that, it’s simply a nice IPA.

Pint at the brewery. As always with IPAs, freshness is the key. Hazy pale golden pour with a thick and sticky white head that leaves a lingering lace all down the glass. The nose is quite nice with prominent aromas of grapefruit and orange peel along with a zesty spiciness. Fresh and fruity tasting with a bit of lingering zesty hoppiness. Really, it’s quite an appealing pint. It tastes so much better than I recall... so much so that I think I’ll have another. Pale golden, quite cloudy with a thin white head. The aroma is lightly hoppy with a touch of lemony citrus. A soft spicy hoppiness with a lot of lemon over the top. Decently hoppy with a soft sweet maltiness to balance. It’s basic, but decent. 7 3 6 3 12
