A big, mouth-watering IPA, brimming with all the flavors and aromas of the new breed of hops coming from Australia and the Pacific Northwest. Limbo IPA is the first year-round Long Trail offering to be born out of our new Farmhouse Pilot Brewery. We had such great success with the IPAs coming out of our Pilot facility (in both our "Farmhouse Ales" - brewery only - and "Brown Bag" - regionally distributed, draught-only) that we decided to release Limbo IPA, in package and draught, year-round. When we launched Brown Bag in 2012, a web page dedicated to customer feedback was put online. After experiencing the first IPA in the series, one customer's email remarked, "You'd better not leave me sitting here in Limbo until you decide to brew some of your new IPA's year-round." And so became Limbo. At 80 IBU's, we knew this Australian & West Coast hopped IPA warranted packaging that was equally as bold, so we broke the Long Trail mold and went to some unchartered territory. The package graphics and tap handles are like nothing we have ever done before and are sure to turn some heads. Limbo six packs will have a special die-cut design to showcase the artwork. The bottle will feature unique crowns with artwork on both sides. This style of IPA is something we have heard our customers screaming for and our Brewers have hit this recipe out of the park.

A bright amber colored beer with a big, tightly fluffy textured, creamy white head rising above. There's great hang time on the head. So creamy a cap as it slowly settles. Grassy hops come forward in the nose. More of that grassiness with a twist of lemon and a base of caramel. Very sessionable. Effervescent.

Hazy amber/orange pour.Thin bubbly head laces well. Sweet honey and biscuit malt aroma. Strong pine and grapefruit flavour with melon backed up by sweet caramel malt. Thin to medium but sticky mouthfeel. Hit the spot after waxing the car in the sunshine.

Big nose, initial apricot followed with lots of pine resin and some cotton candy. Slightly fogged light copper body topped with big frothy head that leaves great lace. Mouth is medium and a bit creamy. perhaps a hair undercarbonated. Flavor is very unusual. There is some major mustiness in this IPA. sizable ,alt moderate bitter, very drying, alcohol present and warming, really like this profile, some sweetness, but the musty thing which hangs in there from start to finish is a bit offputting, it may be growing on me though.

Purchased on one of my trip to Vermont. Pours a very slightly hazy amber colour with a big frothy-creamy warm cap, great retention and some very nice lacing. Aromas of the fresh hops, but well-balanced with some tropical fruits notes. Because of this, the taste is quite sweet at first, but finishes on a dry hoppy bitterness. The fruits are always present. Quite a nice IPA that is easy-drinking because of the mix of tropical fruits and hoppiness.
