this is so close! i was hoping that this would be a good east coast IPA with a ton of hops like west coast IPA’s, but unfortunately, like so many other east coast brewers, this one was more of an english IPA than an american IPA, but i will say that it is close, just too much malt balance, an IPA shouldnt be balanced. long trail just needs to make this one a little more citrusy, and a little less malty and they have a very good recipe.

Location: 12 oz bottle from State Line, 11/9/09
Aroma: A slightly sour aroma, with notes of citrus and caramel
Appearance: Slightly hazy golden-yellow color with a fluffy white head
Flavor: The taste is mostly sour fruit and caramel malts, short bitter finish
Palate: A slightly thin mouthfeel with a relatively short duration
Overall Impression: It makes for an alright IPA, but it is not that great. It comes off more sour then it probably should. It doesn't have they typical hop flavors you generally get with this style, but it makes for an OK beer.

12 oz bottle courtesy of mcox90. Pour is a hazed orange golden, with a big white head the settles with big carbonation bubbles. Aroma of hoppy citrus and some resin pine. Taste is the bitter hops, citrus, pine held up by a decent enough malt backbone. Palate is unfiltered, medium. Finish is a grassy and slightly bitter. Enjoyable IPA. Thanks for sending my way, Michael!

2004 bottle at Julio’s Spring Beer Festival, 4/02/05. Clear golden-yellow body, small white head, fair retention, some lacing. Aroma of simple, citrus hops and light fruity yeast. Little bit of pale malt to balance, some dry hay-mineral-like notes. Flavor is dry and hoppy, bordering astringent. Fruits, minerals, some iron in there that dosent belong and a bit of soap. Boring, unwavering hops bitterness, little malt backbone, medium body, moderate carbonation. Yawn....

An orange beer with a small white disappearing head. The aroma is sour and slightly hoppy. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel and a sticky mouthfeel. This reminds me of a pilsener, not at all of an IPA.
