Sampled on draft at Hough’s this beer poured a hazy golden-peach color with a large foamy yellow-white head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was pine, cactus, lemon and a bit of catbox. The flavor was lemon, pine, cactus, sweet honey and a bit of catbox. Long cactus, pine and catbox finish. Moderately full bodied and smooth. Ok.

Can from a lazy dog. Hazy deep golden color with a frothy bubbly white head that persists. Sweet honey like maltiness with a touch of toast, resinous rindy citrus hops. Moderate level of bitterness. I can’t tell if I’m picking up a faint bit of toasted malt or if its just a hint of burnt butterscotchy diacetyl. Decent beer except for that distraction.

On tap at Vermont Tap House, Williston, VT.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a glossy/hazy burnt orange color with a thin bar pour’s kind of white slim head that quickly dissipated. Moderate slim lacing.
The smell started off with some sweet corn/sweet malt, lightly rounded out with a moderate, some sweet dried grass. Subtle floral.
The taste was mainly the same leaning towards the sweet side, subtle sweet breadiness as it warms. Sweet dry malty aftertaste. Quick sweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly light.
Overall, as an APA, yeah, it works for Long Trail, its something with their yeast that always assists in producing that sweetness. Me, I don’t mind it.

12oz can pours a hazy honey gold with some lacing white head. Nose is nice, some tropical fruits, guava and mango, tangerine, soap, light honey. Flavor is smooth as hell, a pleasing level of hone sweetness, dripping mangoes and guavas, some tangerine bitterness, a little bubblegum. Finishes a little sweet and a little fruity with some balancing bitterness. You should probably be drinking this.

12 oz. can from 7-11 Kittery Maine. Color is a slightly hazy gold with steady carbonation. Aroma is mild citrus, honey, bready malt, and a note of citrus rind.
Flavor pretty much follows the aroma. Notes of melon pulp, mango, citrus provided by plenty of malt backbone. Body is medium with a light juicy texture. At 6.8 percent I get a alcoholic finish. Flavor wise it is about the same as all the other in this series.
