Jun 6, 2005 A great IPA from vermont. Nice copper tones, loads of hops and a fresh clean finish. Another winner from Long Trail Brewing.

Dec 13, 2006 Enjoyed this one on draught at the brewery in Bridgewater Corners, VT. This beer pours to a slightly hazy, deep golden, to light amber color, with a thick, creamy white head, and a good bit of carbonation. The nose on this beer is very zesty and fragrant, with lots of good citrus aromas of lemon peel and citron. The palate is crisp, with good pale malt flavor, paired with a nice back drop of lemony hop flavor. This beer finishes with more good pale malt and hop flavor, then ends with a nice burst of lemon/grapefruit hop bitterness that lingers. Very well done AIPA with good bite aroma, flavor, and bitterness. Was a great match with the spicy Buffalo chicken fingers, and halapeno poppers on the brewpub menu. Well worth seeking out.

Dec 23, 2002 Crystal clear orange color, a light sweet hoppy smell. Medium body. Decent malt overpowered by a sharp bitterness that doesn’t seem to linger too much. Crisp clean bite to it. This is probably Long Trail’s best considering they tend to be over the top and an IPA is suited to just that as it is not so appropriate to other styles.

does not count  Sep 3, 2006 If you LOVE hops, this is your brew. Nose to toes, this IPA bleeds hop presence. Thick on the tongue, front to back, side to side. Refreshing and satisfying. Clean your palate between sips (or gulps!) and you’ll relive that first exhilarating taste right down to the bottom of the glass. Nice lace, smallish, white head. Excellent example of the style.

Mar 4, 2006 Bottle from lou18 Thanks!
Pours a rich orange with a peculiar aroma of banana and gum. Slight tinge of grapefruit as it warms. Suitable head with clinging lace. Taste is a mild flood of hops, citrus, and sour. Nice, refreshing. Palate is nice. If not for the relatively high ABV, this would make a great session beer. I like this one. Really, really good. Honest, straigthforward, and tasty. Must have more.
