This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a nice looking hazy golden orange color with a nice transparency about it. Carbonation seemed to be barely there but a bubble here and there was seen rising. Rocky white to off white foamy head starts and dissipates pretty quickly. Messy lacing all around.
The smell started off with sweet grassiness, sweet citrus, light bitter pine, slight breadiness. All blends nicely.
The taste was mainly sweet initially, reminiscent of their other \"English\" styled IPA but takes in more bitterness to remind me it’s closer to the American style. Sweet to bitter citrus, piney and bready aftertaste. Spicy finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation hits low and allows that spiciness to come back to balance withthe bitterness on my tongue.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good offering from Long Trail. Though slightly reminiscent of their regular IPA, this one is just a tad hoppier.
