Poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a ruddy burnt amber color with a slim transparency about it. Carbonation can be seen rising at a moderate pace. Slim finger’s worth of white foamy head dissipated at a nice pace. Messy lacing.
The smell started off with some German yeasty breadiness (kinda like an altbier), but wait, then there’s some diacetyl, hmmmm...intentional? Me, I’m not so sure.
The taste still had that dry German yeasty/bready sweetness like an altbier. Sweet earthy/herbal/bready aftertaste. Wet sweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability to it. Dry to sweet yeasty/bready malts hit my palate.
Overall, hard to really rate with what I’m assuming some age to it. But this will stand for now and I’ll give it a \"holler at\" next ski season.

Pours deep mahogany into a shaker. Off-white head crackles and recedes to skim surface leaving soapy lacing. Sour caramel and earth aromas. Soft with sweet toffee upfront turning to dry, earthy hops in the lasting finish.

Bottle brought back by a traveling neighbor (as "Jay Peak Tram Ale"). This brew is a clear dark amber color with a thin and foamy beige head that dissipates slowly. Small patches of lacing. Aroma of sweet toffee and malt. Light, clean body with sweet grainy malt, caramel and fruit flavors. Very little hops are detected. The finish is sweet with caramel malt lingering in the aftertaste. Pretty average overall.
