A fairly clean golden-amber colour with a small off-white head, average stay and light lace. Spicy, rye-like grains, alcohol warming, with some hoppy bitterness, hints of wheat-banana for aromas. The cloves come out a little more in the taste, but still blends well with the barley, tad wheat and mild grassiness. A nice stronger Belgian amber beer that different, with only cloves as a spice in here.

Hazy amber colour with a golden hue, a light-beige head, frothy, bubbly with decent retention and leaving small spots on the glass. Toasted malt base aromas with some nice spices, hints of wheat-banana, mineral water that come out after breathing. The taste is a blend of the banana notes, spices and mild grassy hops. The mouthfeel is on the thicker side, but not syrupy, as the hops create a nice drying finish. The spiciness and grassiness lightly lingers. A touch of brown sugar and caramel all-around. Quite an easy-drinking Dubbel on the lower alcohol side, but still lots going on.

Can from the brewery - Easter 2024 trip, that pours a lightly hazy golden-amber colour with a frothy-bubbly white cap, long lasting with some soapy lacing left. Not sure why, but I am getting lots of Nelson Sauvin notes, rather than Riwaka. That nutty-grapeness I really like, not the grapefruit I am suppose to get. Maybe a bit of kumquat that is suppose to be. The mango of the Riwaka comes out in the taste with citrusy zest hints. Quite juicy with just enough building dryness to not be too thick. Still, vinous notes that I really enjoy the Sauvin hops. No matter what, this is a good APA.

Can from the brewery - Easter 2024 trip. Hazy enough, golden-yellow colour with an orange hue. A white frothy head, good retention and some nice, thick foamy lacing streaks. Quite nice fruitiness in the aromas with mango notes from the HBC 586 and white grapes from the Phantasm. The Nelson Sauvin-style hoppiness continues in the taste with the Sauvignon Blanc notes and some mild grassiness lingering, drying. Hints of guava, citrus. Quite a nice juicy IPA with vinous, citrusy notes and just enough dryness.

Bottle ($95 US) from the brewery - Easter 2024 trip with a waxed cap. Lightly hazy, a white small head, average retention and a little lacing spots left on the glass. Funky, sour aromas with a touch of citrus, oak woodiness giving vanilla notes. The mouthfeel is wet with a puckering sourness, mild dryness and tart left on the tongue. Lots of fruits in the taste (citrus, stone fruits, tropical fruits) and the hints of wood-vanilla. Very nice to try this limited-to-one bottle per customer, and probably the most expensive beer I have... and will ever purchase.

Mixed 12-pack of Long Trail cans in Vermont - Easter 2024 trip. Hazy, orangy with golden highlights, a frothy white cap, good stay and leaving thick soapy lacing. Orange juice aromas with tropical fruit notes, and hints of pine. Smooth mouthfeel with a touch of drying end. A decent blend of citrus juices, zest and a piney tad bitter hoppiness. Not a bad hazy, juicy IPA with a mild pine-bitterness West Coast style added.

Hazy golden-orange colour with a small, bubbly white head, average stay and some good foamy lacing spots. Big orange juice aromas - probably the most orange juicy I have ever smelt on a NEIPA. The flavours are juicy, but less than the nose. Oranges with a blend of citrus peel and a touch of grassy hops. The mouthfeel has a touch of dryness, that seems to keep building as you drink. A tad tart results. Not a bad, refreshing juicy NEIPA with citrus zest to balance some dryness.

Hazy yellow colour with a bubbly-fizzy white cap, dissipating rather quickly, leaving a tiny ring of smaller bubbles. Lemon zest with hints of white wine grapes. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced between wet-refreshing and dry. A touch of tart stay on the tongue. Again, lemon zestiness in the flavours, and a tad vinous. A refreshing lemony-zesty Farmhouse with a bit of Chardonnay.

Slightly hazed, bright yellow colour with a white, fizzy-frothy cap, decent stay and a ring around the brew left. Fresh oranges in the aromas with lime notes and mild sourness. The taste is pretty mild, as the alcohol content is, showing very light citrus notes. Gets hazier as it pours. This enhances the flavours a touch. Oranges, very mild sourness and a tad tart. Going down well, but would like to have a 5% ABV version to get a bit more kick - as a mimosa is pretty nice.

Fairly filtered, amber colour with golden highlights. The head is is lightly beige, creamy-frothy, long lasting and leaving good creamy lacing. Grassy nose with medicinal notes over the caramel malt base and decent toastiness. It is a touch piney, but not particularly enjoying the hops in here. Grassy-plasticy hoppiness on the bread malt touch. Not super offensive, but not my type of hops in a Red Irish ale.
