Long Valley Grist Mill Golden

Brewed by Long Valley Pub and Brewery
Style: American Pale Ale
Long Valley, New Jersey USA

Draught at the pub. Even golden body with a short, white, clingy head. Very weak aroma, pleasantly crisp, vaguely malty taste. No hops, or at least VERY noble, very light bitterness with some nice floral notes, not juniper but in the area, cellery and cellary. Light body but not watery with firm-enough malt. Nice little session.

Clear straight golden coloured ale holding a rather fresh cereal aroma with bread slices, light mango and a slightly exotic fruitiness. Of course, a highly accessible ale, but still interesting for its freshness. Floral, grainy palate with nuanced aromatics. Light carbonation, lean-bodied. More than fair.

White head atop crystal clear straw body. Aroma is medium sweet, skunk, some grass. Taste is medium sweet, apple, grass, some skunk. Light body, light crispness.

On tap at the brew pub. Pours a translucent golden with a medium bubbly white head. Aroma of light citrus, hops and cereal grains. Flavor of light hops, cereal grains, bread dough, very light hop bitterness, some light citrus.

Tap. Pours a lighter yellow with minimal head. Nose is very skunky. Flavor is more funk and skunk. This flavor remained throughout. I’d have to agree with the last reviewer, that maybe the lines need to be cleaned. I did not finish the pint.

A very flawed brewl. Clear yellow with a spare white head. Lightly acidic with a sewer-like quality in the long finish. With the exception of their Light beer, this quality seemed to permeate most of their beers. Perhaps their lines needed a good cleaning.
