12 ounce bottle shared with and courtesy of Alraomon. Thanks Sean! Pours a clear orange-red color with a thin white head. The aroma was somewhat weak, but did come across as earthy and hoppy. Taste is filled with noble hops with caramel and grainy notes. Very bitter, but it sneaks up in a very pleasant way. Full bodied. Highly drinkable.

7.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Bottle. Pour is a hazy amber with a small, white head and aromas of spice, spice and spice. Pepper, fennel and cloves in the nose. Flavor is more of the same and is simply lovely. Big banana/cloves up front with a bit of bubble gum sweetness and a lemony/peppery finish. This was darn good and it leaves me wondering whether I got a particularly good bottle or if there is a new batch or what the heck...

Ale from Long Trail Brewing Company

6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
Bottle. Pour is a reddish copper with tons of carbonation and a large but quickly fading head. Aromas are mostly caramel malt with a little bit of light fruit. Flavor is not really watery, but not really full, either. Malty sweetness is pleasant, but that’s about all I’m picking up. Nice, but simple.

Belgian White from Long Trail Brewing Company

6.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
12 oz bottle from Thaichile. 051408 stamped on the neck of the bottle. Pour is a hazed, cloudy pale yellow with a bright white one inch head. Head falls fast with no lacing. Aroma of bright fresh lemon citrus, wheat and some floral spiciness. Taste is soft and sugary lemons. The floral is present, and is quite perfumy in the aftertaste. There is some bitter hoppiness near the clean and brief finish. This was mostly about the lemons. Overall, nice drinkable Wit. Thanks Mark!

Bottle. Nice copper color, low tanish head. Malty aroma, nutty, caramel. Flavor is nice but alcohol is too present. Nice malt, with caramel and nuts, a touch more hops than usual for the style, though less than an Uerige. Nice, malty beer but too strong alcohol taste.

4.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 3 Texture 2 Overall 3.5
At 7%, much stronger than I expected. I found the other LTs in this sixer quite smooth and refreshing. Tho altbiery, this is more like a style of strong something; lager or ale. Candy aroma. Looks like a brown oranger transparent beer, somewhat off pale yellow. Barely any carbonation in the glass. Too much for my girlie taste buds. In your face alt, if that is what it is? Medicine stronger alky biting finish, does not hide its alky content well. Smell is only value above average. Probably would be liked by the IPA and impy stout lovers.

Harvest Ale from Long Trail Brewing Company

5.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Interesting weirdly off aroma when you pop the lid but turns slightly flowery sweet inthe glass. Darker orange brown but translucent. Good initial flavor impressions. Goes down easy. Thin head, fades quickly. If I didn’t know better I would have thought this was an octoberfest, it has many of the qualities. Friendly and refreshing without any offensive bitter hop bite. Certainly like an octoberfest. Rather enjoyable crispy finish.

Blackbeary Wheat from Long Trail Brewing Company

5.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 5
Sampled on draft at the Rivertowne Pub in North Huntingdon PA this beer poured a medium golden color with a medium sized white head. The aroma was tangy, dry cardboard and a light vague berry note. The flavor as tart and tangy with a noticable dry cardboard element and a light vague berry note. The finish was long tangy cardboard. Blah.

5.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 6.5
Very nice clean yeasty aroma turns slightly fruity and perfumy in the glass. Slightly darker than the ubiquitous pale lager but just as clear. Meollow flavor that wants to come on strong but does not. Godd tingly carbonation and its welcomed. After the session continues, there is a medium light building hops falvor. Nice enjoyable hint of fruit in there too. Has some hop presence without being offensive nor over the top. Very enjoyable beer, glad I got to try this. Finish is nice and friendly, hides alky well. Surprizingly pleasing.
