12oz bottle in a stem glass. Pours brown with a thin beige head. Aroma of roasted malts and dark fruits. Flavor about the same with a little nut/hop flavor. Average texture. Pretty decent beer.

Shaker Pint draft at the Jet Rock bar and grill in Concourse B of the Philadelphia airport. Pour is clear copper amber with more or less no head. Aroma is malt, nutty with whisper of roast, and a bit of caramel sweetness. Taste is malty, pretty much straight forward lightly sweet and nutty, not much else. It is quite clean, and the finish has a nice lingering gypsum to it, which I like. Palate is medium, low carbonation, and a quick and clean finish. This is not exactly what I was expecting when I heard Harvest Ale, but what are you going to do?

From a bottle poured an amber color with a fair amount of head. light spicy malty flavor with a quick finish.

Growler. Clear brown beer with a nice head. Light-medium body. Pretty decent flavor, with some dark fruits and (esp. if it warms up) toffee and cocoa. Lightly hopped, but not really sweet. It feels of autumn but could have used more heft.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Buy Rite - Jersey City, 9/21/10

Aroma: The nose is somewhat nutty, toasted malts, caramel, and a light fruitiness
Appearance: It pours a clear mahogany color with a small off-white head and light lace
Flavor: The taste is somewhat sweet, a bit of nutty/malty/roasted flavor, and a touch acidic
Palate: This one has a decent mouthfeel, though it is a drop on the watery side
Overall Impression: This beer is alright, but it isn’t that exciting. There isn’t anything terribly wrong with it, its just underwhelming. I have a feeling this one will end up being rather forgettable.

(Bottle) Nice autumn brown, amber color but only a thin head developed. The taste is slight sweet and malty. Somewhat diluted and mellow. Not bad. This could work well as a session beer during the season. Long Trail provides a decent value for the flavor.

12 oz bottle. Pours dark amber with shades of deep red and brown. Has a little tan had that fizzled away pretty quickly. Not a big nose, just some malts and a little spice. Medium body, almost creamy if it were just a little less watery and bigger on the taste. Sticky and sweet malty finish with a nice balance of hops that makes it crisp.

12oz bottle poured copper with minimal head. ok malt hardly any body not such a good brew

Bottle. Pours a clear ruby with a light and quickly dissipating head. Smells of nutty malts and bread. There is a light bitterness to the taste like acorn. This is lightly carbonated with an oily texture. It’s not bad for a brown ale but not much of a seasonal.
