Long Trail Ale - It is dark copper in color with a malty and slightly fruity aroma. The tastes are subtle in this, slightly sweet, slightly fruity, slight caramel malt. It is very light and refreshing. This is a nice amber ale. From the bottle: "This full bodied amber ale is modeled after the 'altbiers' of Dusseldorf, Germany. Our own top-fermenting yeast and cold-finishing temperature result in a complex, yet clean, full flavor."
Long Trail Pale Ale - Bright copper in color, slightly cloudy, with a nice foamy head. It is very hoppy in aroma, with floral, fruit and pine. The taste is hop forward, floral, citrus, a bit tart, with a good underlying balance of malt.
IPA - Golden honey colored and cloudy. This beer is unfiltered. Pours with a huge foamy head. Aroma of citrus hops and yeast. Must be some secondary fermentation due to the yeast in the bottle, this beer is massively carbonated. Taste is extremely balanced for this type of IPA. While it is hop forward, they are not wildly dominant, nor is the yeast. Taste is generally fruity, citrus hops with a slight bitterness, but not much, it is well balanced by the malt. While flavorful, it is lighter than your average American IPA. It is a bit unique for the style. It grows on me with each sip.
