Really floral smell. Taste has moderate hops. The finish is actually really nice and refreshing, different from the rest of the beer. A little bitter and a little fruity. A quite all right IPA, probably under-rated by at least a little.

Fluffy white head and a carbonated pale body that looks more like a lager than a wheat beer. Smells pretty much like the fruits that give it its flavour. The taste is pretty much of blackberry and of really bready wheat beer. I didn’t think this was too bad.

Cloudy pale golden coloured body with a light white head. Aroma of fresh wheat, stale hops, curacao and a tiny bit of spices. Light to Medium-bodied; Strongish wheat flavours roam with some fresh hops and light sugar as well. Aftertaste shows more malt and some sweetness along with a bit of the fresh hops. Overall, a decent wheat, nothing special - but good from the brewery in my opinion. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Oliver’s Beverage in Albany, New York on 19-May-2007 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

Gets a four for appearence partially because of the deleightful picture of two cows on the bottle. Pretty light amber color though, with a relatively thick long standing head. Fruity and sweet aroma, nothing special per se there. The beer itself is light at the front and leads to expectations that the remainder of the sip will follow in suit, but it certainly does not. The finish become thick and syrupy and finishes off with a bitter aftertaste, with a few other tastes that I could not quite pin point.

Bottle. Clove and banana bread aroma. Cloudy golden orange color with small head. Ripe banana and orange/pineapple flavor but little else - no maltiness at all. As an American wheat, would have rated higher. A gateway beer for those who don’t really like beer, but little in common with most Hefes.

Bottle. Light cherry and yeasty malt aroma. Medium amber color with small head. Slightly sweet yeasty malt flavor with a light hops finish. Nothing bad - would have rated higher as an amber ale but as an altbier it is very mediocre.

Bottle from Porterhouse; Nose has dark fruits, cloves, caramel, and brown sugar; copper colored with a small beige head; flavor has caramel, fruity sweetness, spices, and some light hop notes which last to the finish. Decent Scottish Ale!

Cloudy dark golden color with distinct orange....a light scented brew with a crisp flavor profile like the original long trail ale...very tasty straight out of the bottle...not the greatest IPA aftertaste almost as if the citrus fruits are starting to turn a tad..oh man i turned a 40 to a 39...:(
