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.

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?

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.

I though this was pretty solid. Had some on draught in Vermont. Poured a lovely, light amber-brown with a fine head. Aroma of sweet malts. Flavor was rich with a nice malty character and notes of caramel and minor hop presence. Very smooth, clean finish. Would make a great beer to session.

Pours deep mahogany into a shaker. Beige micro head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Chocolate and caramel malt aromas. Sweet and sharply carbonated with mild nutty and chocolate malts in the dry abrupt finish.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a medium red-brown color with a large brown head. The aroma was bitter fruity hops with a touch of citrus. The flavor was bitter, tart and vaguely malty. There was a sour and bitter finish. Felt and tasted watered down. Disappointing.

Interesting weirdly off aroma when you pop the lid but turns slightly flowery sweet inthe glass. Darker orange brown but translucent. Good initial flavor impressions. Goes down easy. Thin head, fades quickly. If I didn’t know better I would have thought this was an octoberfest, it has many of the qualities. Friendly and refreshing without any offensive bitter hop bite. Certainly like an octoberfest. Rather enjoyable crispy finish.

12oz bottle-pours a light tan head and copper/amber color. Aroma is medium malt, faint medium fruit. Taste is medium malt-some sweet, secondary spice/earthy hops, faint medium fruit, some roasty. Light side of medium body. Easy drinking. OK carbonation. Thanks jwc215 for sharing.

Sample at the Mill Hill Saloon in Trenton, NJ: This beer is a clear pale amber color with a thin white head that dissipates quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of fruit and caramel malt. Medium-bodied with sweet malt and caramel flavors along with some nuts and hops. The finish is moderately sweet at first with a mild hops aftertaste. Drinkable, although mediocre overall.
