LilBeerDoctor (639), East Setauket, New York, USA Jun 15, 2008 On tap. Pours a clear dark amber with a small white head. Aroma of sweet malt. Flavor of sweet malt, some flowery hops. Palate is slightly watery compared to other light-bodied pale ales, alts, or ambers, but it’s not terrible. Very drinkable and a nice option on tap.
mcox90 (364), Wilton, New Hampshire, USA Oct 11, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a light amber color with a 1/2" white head. Aroma is mild malt and some hops. Palate is medium bodied. Flavor is malty with a hop background, but with a strange metallic finish. Not Long Trails best effort. otismulligan (11), Yardley, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 10, 2008 a buddy gave me a bottle, not to bad. Mild ale not a strong hoppy ale. but good bite, quick pleasing aftertaste. rampmaster (168), Alden, New York, USA Oct 3, 2008 Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: The body has good clarity and a nice medium amber color. Its head was off white in color, of average size and quickly settles down and fades to thin ring of lace.
Smell: The aroma has hints of leafy, mineral like and grassy hops with some lightly toasted grain.
Taste/Mouth feel: The flavor is well balanced and delicate. Hop flavor is leafy and grassy with mild bitterness. It is in very good balance with the light bready malt. The light bitterness fades quickly and cleanly off the tongue, setting you up for the next sip. It has a light to medium body, smooth texture and average carbonation.
Notes: Overall it’s an all around good beer with wonderful drinkability.
BelgianBeerGal (978), Sabbatical in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Sep 24, 2008 Draught in Bar Harbor. Altbier? Would not have guessed at that classification. Definitely borderd on amber territory. It was easy drinking and enjoyable no matter what you want to call it. MrBunn (892), Western, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 4, 2008 Bottle. Pour is a reddish copper with tons of carbonation and a large but quickly fading head. Aromas are mostly caramel malt with a little bit of light fruit. Flavor is not really watery, but not really full, either. Malty sweetness is pleasant, but that’s about all I’m picking up. Nice, but simple.
