On tap at Mad Mex, Robinson. Neutral aroma with a bit of hops and mild oxidation notes. Kinda bland in the nose. Copper amber clear with foamy lacing off-white head. Medium watery body with medium-heavy carbonation. Starts pretty dry with nutty grains, carbonic acidity, chalky bitterness, and oxidation flavors. Hops are here, just not much on flavor. Malts are muted with little sweetness. Papery finish with dry after.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy reddish brown with an off-white head. Aroma is very malty, caramel and perhaps toffee. Flavor is straight malt. Delicious, filling, thick, and tasty.

Bottle. Deep brown pour with a nice tan head. Smell is caramel, honey, raisins. Taste is very sweet and malty. Definite caramel in the taste. Nice texture too....not just super smooth but goes down very easy. A quality beer - always impressed by Long Trail.

12 oz bottle, pours a pale amber color with minimal head. Aroma is sweet and spicy with some malt mixed in and is quite pungent at room temperature. Taste reflects the aroma and combines bitterness at first with sweet and spicy as the drink enters the back of the palate. Very full body and leaves you really feeling satisfied- great sweet/spicy aftertaste. Reminds me of Sam Adams with a little extra kick to it- absolutely full of flavor.

Enjoyed from a 12oz bottle in a pub glass. The beer is initially surprising, given the fact that it is niether a doppelbock, nor a winter beer; given its name. It pours a relatively light color for the style, perhaps a medium amber, with a small white head. Carbonation is good for the style. Notes of toffee and caramel come through in the nose. A slight touch of hops also greet the olfactory glands, but not so much as to through the beer out of style. The palate is refined, if a bit simplistic. Slightly maltier than an English pale ale, but not as much so as the great scotch ales. The finish is clean, and leaves a lingering note of malt. Overall, a fine beer, but not quite in the same category as the finest examples.
