Bottle at the sky high Canary wharf tasting. Huge thanks to Leighton. Clear golden orange coloured pour with a lasting thin white head. Aroma is juicy, mango and pineapple hop, light sweet fruit, touch for caramel. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, little juicy piney, mango, pithy lemon. Palate is juicy hop, little sticky, moderate carbonation. Good. Assertive bitterness.

Taste comprises big dank hop strokes, orange pith, bitter grapefruit, straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with semi aggressive hop bitterness. Solid approachable easy drinking DIPA.

Can at the 42nd floor tasting, thanks to Leighton. It pours clearish gold with a decent white head. The nose is sweet, juicy, oily, passion fruit, papaya, dried mango, fruit compote and some skunk. The taste is bitter, juicy, orange, toasty grain, grass, piney varnish, skunky notes and cracked black pepper. Finishes up all skunky and dry. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Juicy and flavoursome. All comes together rather well. Nice one!

Can shared in London - picked up in Brattleboro. Pours clear gold with a frothy, off-white head. Smells great, nice juicy hops, peach, tangerine, mango, orange. Medium sweet flavor with dry pale, bready malts, tangerine, some bitter orange rind, a bit of alcohol, herbal pine. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Warming finish, resinous, with light pine, ripe citrus, tangerine, perfume, pale bread. Quite solid. Well done, Long Trail.

This was poured into a snifter.
The appearance was a nice looking hazy bronzed caramel color with a nice looking one finger white foamy sustaining head. Lacing clung nicely around the glass.
The smell started with sweet danky onion leading to sweet grassy to semi-floral citrus hops. With a nice dose of a caramel background to add, it really maintains a nice light sweet underneath.
The taste was mainly sweet through the combination of the caramel malts to the sweet hops (grassy and onion).
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body. Carbonation runs extremely smooth allowing the dankness of the sweet onion to roll and smooth out the caramel malts.
Overall, uh...where did this come from Long Trail? Did you guys really make this? I mean, sorry, I don’t want to doubt you, its just really different than other offerings I’ve expected from you.

On tap at The American Craft Beer Fest Yesterday. Old school IPA, too much toffee and caramel maltiness with a harsh bracing bitterness.
