Description
Caretaker of Vermont Craft

Take a Hike!®

Inspired by the 273-mile hiking trail that traverses through the Green Mountains, Long Trail Brewing Company has been a caretaker of Vermont craft since 1989. Moved and motivated by the local culture and surroundings, we work hard to create beers worthy of our Vermont roots. From small batch recipes developed in our farmhouse-turned-pilot-brewery to wider ranging staples like our flagship Long Trail Ale and freshly formulated Trail Hopper IPA, our brewers are committed to crafting a trail-worthy family of beers.

Part of their IPA 12-pack mixed case. Hazy golden-orange colour with a big bubbly-soapy white cap, decent stay and some foamy lacing spots. Pink grapefruit aromas with the orange juice base and some tropical fruits coming out later. The taste starts on a tangerine note, with some good citrus zest that grows, creating some bitterness and dryness lingering. Not a bad juicy IPA with enough dryness int the end.

200th IPA rating! Pours a hazy straw from a can. Aroma is pine, tropical fruit, and maybe a little egg? Flavor is sweet fruit, some faint pine. Good beer.
