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...:(

12 oz bot....very pretty copper color..a thin tracing of foam...a pleasing aroma with nice fruit charasteristics and fruit to follow on the palate mixed with some clean malt flavor....such a crisp texture to the body..damn i love this beer...easy to drink but with taste....good out of the glass but best served straight out of the bottle and into a happy awaiting mouth...this could easily become my new "buy by the case beer"..whoo hoo made this beer go from 52 to a 53!!!

Second Long Trail beer that i tried. This one has a sweet aroma and then a nice thick taste accompanying it. Nice and smoth taste with a carmelly feel to it. No real bite to it as many ales have, but it is certainly not a bad beer never the less. I’ll drink it again.

This is a very standard ale that is also very, very drinkable. It isn’t a really special or interesting beer, but it is certainly well crafted. The hops flavour is not as strong as the hops flavour of most other American ales of this calibre, but that doesn’t go against this beer, as it still has a nice smooth taste. Would definately try this again.

Poured a brownish copper from the bottle with a medium sized white head. Smelled a little like banana when I opened the bottle, smells wheaty, malty and sweet. Initial flavor is malty, citrusy orange and a little grainy. Finish is metallic but nice. Not as spicy as other Altbiers.

Poured a copper orange from the bottle with very little white head. No distinct aroma, no hops and little malt smell. Sweet and smooth flavor, malty taste smooth, slightly watery finish. Not bad but not remarkable.

Bottle: Poured a dirty brown color ale with a rather large head with average retention. Aroma of caramel malt with some sweetness. Taste is also dominated by some roasted malt with a nice lingering caramel-like sweetness. Body is just above average with some good carbonation. Better then most standard brown ale out there but nothing to write home about.
