Half glass sample at the brewpub.
The appearance was a ruddy burnt orange to amber color with a thin finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Messy stringy lace.
The aroma had some juicy pulpy citrusy sweet rindy bitterness. Light strawberry and peach make up a nice arrangement underneath.
The flavor leans to the sweet side of a blend of those previously mentioned fruity aromas. Lingering malty fruity notes in the aftertaste and in on the background.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine and fairly low.
Overall, really nicely done APA that I would definitely have again.

Sample glass. At brewpub.
The appearance was a muddy burnt orange color with a nice finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a decent pace. Moderate sticky lace.
The aroma blended sweet citrus to oats to pine to amplify that sweetness over the bitterness of the hops.
The flavor followed suite to try and be just as sweet yet sharpened it’s axe of bitterness decently on the taste buds. Sly malty response in the aftertaste with a combined malty to hoppy finish.
On the palate, one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Moderate carbonation felt right. Stickiness doesn’t seem overwhelming, just there.
Overall, really nice APA for the most part that I would have again.

On tap at Prohbition Pig.
I had this in a sample glass and it had a nice one finger’s worth of white foamy head and dissipated nicely to allow a semi-messy spider web lacing.
The aroma yields to the German sweet malty yeasty breadiness just right. Yes, it seems just right.
The flavor copies the aroma very nicely yielding to a super smooth bready aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Mild carbonation yielding to malty/bready smoothness rolling over my tongue.
Overall, for the style and by an American brewer, yes, this one is above par, me, I say when in Waterbury, there’s no reason to drink Long Trail’s flagship ever again.

Sample at the brewpub.
The appearance was a transparent yellow burnt golden to pale sort of color.
Finger’s worth of white frothy head that dissipated at a decent pace leaving some sly messy lace
The aroma takes on some grainy malts, some bready yeastiness. Lots of Saaz hops.
The flavor leans towards the sweet malt and grassy sweet Saaz hops. Light grassy aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a spectacular sessionability about it. Carbonation sat pretty low with a big sweet yet bitter sharpness of the hops laying on my tongue nicely.
Overall, it’s a good pilsener, but probably could be scaled back just a tad on the Saaz hops, maybe.

Tap. Prohibition Pig, Waterbury, VT. Pale, milky yellow. Film of clingy, white head. Nose is very wheaty, and cereal like. Pulped peach. Some lemon rind. Sweet and husky. Taste is quite sweet and wheaty, with some lemon tartness. Light body. Dries out somewhat. Decent.

Tap. Prohibition Pig, Waterbury, VT. Thick as a bag, dark straw colour. Thin, lasting, off white head. Nose has a clove like, medicinal character. Some ripe peach and strawberry. Grainy malt backdrop. Taste has a ripe fruit bitterness. Some herbal sweetness. Medium body. Foamy carbonation. More of the herby thing on the finish. Decent enough, without jumping out of the glass.

Tap into a shotglass showing cloudy whitish yellow with a finger of clean white foam. The nose shows subtle pithy grapefruit. The palate is thick bodied with mild carbonation. Flavors of light petrol/ethanol and pineapple. Moderate bitterness on finish with pineapple on the linger.

Half glass at Pro Pig.
The appearance was pink with no head nor lacing.
The aroma starts off with tart raspberries underscored by some sweet wheat. Subtle lemon further underneath.
The flavor takes all of the previously mentioned aromas to combine tart first and brings in a slight sweetness trying to balance in. Tart to semi-sweet edge puckers into the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Low carbonation makes this one easy to be refreshing. Good for what it is. No witbier yeast strain was used in harming this beer.
