alobar (583), Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 13, 2008 Pours and copper color cloudy. Minimal aroma. Next to no hops taste. More like a fruity lager. Not impressive for an IPA. Underhook (62), Lincoln Park, New Jersey, USA Jul 5, 2008 Really weak IPA. Not really very hopped at all, more of a fruity pale ale. That being said, it isn’t bad. Smells average, little bit fruity. Tastes a little hoppy, but pretty mellow for an IPA. Some fruit comes through in the taste along with spices. Average IPA, there are far better ones out there. Bungalo22 (222), Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA May 19, 2008 You could pick up the cascade hops in the aroma and on the first taste. Had this one at the brewery on a recent trip up north. It was tasty IPA. I think I would put it mid way through the pack. phishpond417 (1162), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA May 11, 2008 A tastey brew from Long Trail. Pours a vibrant cloudy amber colour with a large white head, soft floral notes, and pine. Taste is moderately hopped, and generous in grapefruit and lime flavor. GAManiac (217), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Apr 30, 2008 Updated: May 22, 2008Pours a nice hazy bright gold with a thin dense white head. Retention and lacing are actually very nice. This is a very good looking beer in my book. Smell is mainly of citrus hops, with lemon being the major aroma. There is also a sweet malt background that comes through with a faint resiny pine hop smell. Bitter metallic hop taste up front with a very light sweet malt taste afterward. I get a little bit of pine and grass in this one and the finish is rather light with not much hop kick. Relatively light mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. The rest of the beer doesn’t stack up to the initial appearance. It’s a pretty bland IPA and I wouldn’t go out of my way to get this one.
