Long Trail Ale

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to light brown, with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass. The color sits at 14 SRM, showing the balance between pale and darker malts typical of the Altbier style. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a refined visual presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent caramel and bread notes, backed by subtle toasted malt character. Floral and woodsy hop aromas emerge in the mid-ground, accompanied by delicate hints of dried fig and cherry that speak to the clean ale yeast fermentation. The overall impression is balanced and inviting, without aggressive hop dominance.

◐ Taste

Entry reveals soft caramel sweetness and warm bread flavors, with a malty foundation that carries into the mid-palate. Spicy and floral hop character builds gradually, providing structure without overwhelming the delicate malt backbone. Bitterness emerges cleanly at 28 IBU, finishing crisp and dry with lingering toasted grain and subtle cherry notes.

◑ Finish

Medium finish with a gentle fade of toasted malt and restrained bitterness. The aftertaste is clean and refreshing, with faint woody and dried fruit echoes that gradually subside.
