New look, same darn tasty beer you've come to expect from Long Trail. We mark the end of summer with the release our seasonal brown ale, Harvest.
Vermont maple syrup added during the brewing process yields a lasting sweetness on the palate that's guaranteed to warm your soul alongside the rich, chocolate profile and earthy hop character of this classic American brown ale.
Raise a glass and enjoy the spirit of the season.
Pairs well with leaf-peeping, foliage hikes and splittin' wood.

Part of their mixed pack on my trip to Maine. Seems to be called "Harvest Barn Ale" now. Pours a clear brown colour with a nice creamy beige head that is everlasting and with lacing. Beautiful coffee aromas. Roasted malt with some nice bitterness and hints of yeast. A good roasted malty brew for harvest.

Reviewed from notes from some time ago (September 03, 2012). Pours a dark amber/brown and leaves the same colored body that leaves a large full two finger white head that lasts a good minute. The body is too dark for any carbonation to be seen rising. No lacing is around the sides of the glass. The aroma has a great combination of brown sugar, molasses, maple syrup and a short roasty nutty aroma. The taste has all of the previously mentioned ingredients combined perfectly. On the palate, the body feels about a medium and leaves a slight stickiness, not bad, nutty aftertaste and finish. Overall, I’ll go out on a limb and say this is probably one of most drinkable browns on the market.

On tap. Dark reddish brown color topped by a brief small beige head. Big earthy toasted malt aroma has notes of burnt sugar. Flavor is more caramel maltiness with a touch of spicy hops. Notes of sulphur and brown sugar, as well.

Government shutdown beer #2, thank you Congress. Draft. Hazy amber brown color, medium tan head. Aroma of lightly toasted caramel. Taste is sweet caramel. More palatable than a conference committee.

A little bit of the maple syrup comes through on first taste, but some lingering, cloying sweetness remains. Watery mouthfeel. Light brown in color, with no head and light carbonation. To me the maple detracts from what might have been a nice brown ale..

Bottle. Pours brown, clear, 1" of off-white head. Smells sweet with deep, roasted malts. Tastes similar: sweet roasted malts with a hint of grass.

Dark roasted malt aroma, not strong. Clear brown, medium yellow head. Tart charcoal flavor, again, weak. Bark and coffee toward the end. Not real exciting, but ok.

12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Market, Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear reddish brown color with a medium tan head. Decent head retention and lacing. Malty aroma with caramel, chocolate, faint nutty notes, spices and leafy hops. The taste is faint malty notes and leafy hops, some nuts, grain and very faint chocolate. Thin bodied. Fairly average beer.
