Aroma of grassy hops. Taste is much of the same, floral notes. Palate has a resinous grass note. Hoppy and refreshing.

Draught at the brewery, 5/21/6.
Light golden body shows high clarity and just a slight chill-haze. White head atop is medium-sized and falls to cover/ring rapidly.
Cereal-like graininess in the nose is refreshing and combined perfectly with mild to moderate citrus happiness. Light cracker/biscuit and just a pinch of juicy tangerine, trailing off in to soft herbs and more lemon with no alcohol or flaw.
Good attenuation and moderate carbonation, fairly engaging, make for a highly drinkable, low gravity session ale that highlights fresh yeast with seltzer and mineral characteristics. Mildly citric hops add fresh squeezed lemon, rustic dried herbs and end with light pepper and more cracker. Clean, most importantly and very drinkable.

Draft at the Brewery. Clear yellow, lasting head. Aroma is pleasing pale malt, light citrus and some trace of floral. The flavor shows the crisp Pils malt with the hops lingering for a second. Body is.light and ends clean. Much better then I was expecting!

Green stamped on the bottle reads: 03/24/15
This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was basically a light hazy golden yellow to orange color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than thirty seconds leaving some light stringy lacing sliding into the beer.
The smell started off with a light citrus zest and lead into a light balance of grassiness.
The taste was sweet to bitter blending the citrus to the grassiness. Lingering sweet citrus leads the aftertaste and ends up leading a wet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a very good sessionability about it. Carbonation runs smooth and allows a light tangy citrus feel over my tongue.
Overall, I say whether a blonde ale or an APA, I’d have it again. Looks like Long Trail did what they wanted to with this one.

Pours a clear pale yellow from a bottle. Aroma is a slight grassiness. Flavor is like rolling naked in freshly cut hay, chaff flying everywhere, getting poked by the sharp stubble remaining in the ground. Well maybe not that grassy. Or nude. Or painful. More like drinking a solid summer ale. Good beer!

12oz bottle from Wegman’s, West Seneca, NY. A bright straw colour with a loose white head, and a slight haze from the sediment; fresh citrus aroma; soft, sweet grapefruit taste; and a slightly muddled grainy finish. A pleasantly refreshing summer beer, but lacking depth.

12 ounce bottle from Total Wine Manassas. Pours a hazy yellow color with a large fizzy white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of pale malt and strong citrus hops. The taste is citrus hops, pale malts, a bit of a tropical note, even fainter bubblegum. Medium bodied, lingering tartness, mild lingering bitterness, high carbonation.
