Talk about a mouthful of grapefruit! big nose of grapefruit and pine. Paleish honey colored body is night quite tanslucent iwth an offwhite head that is nice but goes away fast leaving a nice skim coat with yeasty spots and short-lived lace. Medium mouth that caosts nicely and is highly carbonated. I'm very fond of the taste it has great balance and moderate complexity. There is a good sweetness from the carmel malts and then a very strong bitter grapefruit and the finsh is very dry and very clean. This could be a MAJOR session brew!

100th review and just bottled first batch of homebrew! Sweet nose, lots of malt and citrus very well balanced. pours a dark copper slightly foggy body with carmel colored medium head, nice retention and moderate lace. Medium mouthfeel is slick, coats the mouth nicely, tight well done carbonation. Flavor is sweet chocolate and figs with nice balance on citrusy hop. finish is slightly bitter with a sweet/sour aftertaste. Really excellently balanced for a sweetish beer!

What a wonderful surprsise. One of the tastiest lagers I have encountered. A great deal of lightly toasted malt in the nose and subtle spicy hop notes, peppers and earthy nutmeg-like notes. Pours a surprising middle amber color that is clear and with a glorious head and excellent lacing. Mouth is very full for a lager in a very nice way. Almost chewy and works the whole mouth. I loved the flavor (OK I like hop-head IPA's but I like otehr things TOO!), killer malt backbone with a touch of sweet carmel notes that finishes with subtle fruity hop notes and just a hint of bitter. A wonderful sense of balance and proportion with a depth of flavor that is rare in a lager. On top of all that this would be a killer session brew. Great job Smuttynose, hats off!

I suspected, after the first sip, that this would get low ratings, under-rated I believe. Long Trail is trying to re-create an historical version of an original IPA. The result is much sweeter than one expects in an IPA, especially and American IPA (which this beer is NOT trying to be)an the consequence, no doubt, is a lower range of ratings. I wasn't around when India was a colony but I am willing to take Long Trails attempt at face value. The nose is fairly well hopped but crystal malt predominates. This beer is unfiltered and naturally carbonated resulting in a very nice white head with good retention and nice lace and a slightly cloudy body that is pale gold in color with a hint of amber. The mouth is very full for an IPA and slick and chewy, its a very nice mouth feel. Flavor...this beer is as sweet as the nose promises. The initial hops taste become overwhelmed by sweet malts, there is a taste of violets, the hops are piney not fruity but the malt is a bit fruity, there is an astringency to the finish. This beer wants to be served on the cold side. The balance goes all to hell as it warms. All in all a very interesting experiment and probably a very good brew to introduce to folks who have never had hops before providing they drink it fast! (this is turning out a 4, if I reviewed it only after it sat in the glass for 15 minutes it would be closer to 3, the floral tastes dissapear and the hops turn to skunk).

Big wonderful nose on this one. Raisins, chocolate, caramel, touch of citrus. Frothy off-white head of decent size sits atop a dark copper, light brown body that it clear. Laces well. Mouth is medium and chewy, nicely slippery, excellent carbonation. Crystal malts dominate in the taste mixed with some nice hoppy citrus, and there follows an additional malt flavor with some hints of prune and pepper and rosemary. Finish is slightly sweet and fairly clean.

Lots of clean earth and grass in the nose along with lemon peel. Pours a gorgeous cloudy lemon-colored body with a moderate egg white tightly bubbled head. A very pretty beer. Mouth is very slippery with moderate tingle from well done carbonation. Flavor is a bit complex for a witbier, starts with a nice bitter hops, turns a bit sweet and tart with a big burst of lemon peel flavor, then goes a bit bitter again with some coriander coming through, and finishes nicely quite dry. This is really a pretty spectacular wit! Incredible balance and finesse, flavors playing off one another throughout.

Really nice Double! Nose full of citrus, pine, and honey. Nice deep amber body with a big head that lingers. Medium bodied mouth with very nice carbonation. Flavor is big hops, pine and citrus following with quite sweet malt backbone, honey and clover, nice bitter ending bite. Some warming from the alcohol. Very tasty though perhaps a bit sweet, a winner!

nice nose, lots of citrus and hops with good malt presence, and some yeasty scents, and some citrus. Deep amber body topped by an off white large and long-;lasting head with fantastic lace, this is a fine looking brew. Mouth is medium bodied and silky, nice moderate carbonation level. Taste if rich for an IPA, especially after it warms a bit, quite a mouthful. The mix of hops is quite nice, very bitter but balanced with a very solid malt for an IPA (suspect this will cost it some scores here) there is a bit of walnut in the flavor with hints of ripe fruit and a touch of citrus, flavor is very subtle but really quite excellent. Finish is clean and dry. This might actually be closer to a pale ale profile than an IPA but the bitterness is there, just well balanced. For a brewer that is approaching Macro status this is a very impressive offering1

Nice pils nose of grass and herbal qualities, some hint of grapefruit and bready yeast. Slightly foggy golden body is topped with a tight white head of medium retention. Mouth is medium bodied, nice sand slick with good tingle. Flavor is better slightly warmed. Heavily hopped for a pils but a nice sweet malt body with some caramel notes followed with big grapefruit and a very dry bitter finish that ends clean. Alcohol is not masked and provides a nice flavor addition. This is an odd duck but quite tasty, DFH strikes again with another high quality brew.

[ Additional note: This beer is, IMHO, quite underrated here. Its not a "huge" beer and it is "simple" but an excellent simple beer is a thing of beauty.} By the way, let this warm significantly to really discover its depth. Smells a bit like a pasture, some grassy scents, quite floral, a touch of hop spiciness, maybe some caramel notes, and malt.... this is a very nice nose. First one poured with NO HEAD at all, read above reviews so threw it out and opened another. This one pours a frothy very white and tight head which sits above a clear, medium gold body and leaves nice lace. Yeasty pools sprout up on the skim coat that is left. Mouth on this is medium bodied and very slippery which is nice. Coats the pallet well. A lot more hops bitterness than one would expect in a bock, this is almost a hybrid style. More complex than most of SN's offerings methinks. Lots of clean light fruit, apples and grapes with significant sweetness hit the mouth and then follows some lemon and pepper, with a tart slightly bitter finish. Aftertaste is quite dry considering how sweet it started out. Alcohol is warming and also plays as part of the taste especially in the finish. This is a very well done beer!

Aroma, well had this in a wood fired pizza joint so it was tuff to tell, some pine, some malty sweetness. Pretty looking beer, average copper color, very nice head with very good lacing. Mouth is pretty full bodied and nicely slick with a fairly low level of tingle which is appropriate for the style. Flavor is buttery and musty which is again appropriate for the style. There is a (I think) stronger malt backbone to this then the brewer's description mentions, again appropriate to the style as it befits its English Pale birth line. It is more heavily hopped than an English Pale, some flavoring hops but predominately bittering hops. The finish if both bitter and slightly malty-sweet. This is very high on my list of American Pales,perhaps the leader.

Smells Belgium, must be the yeast. Lots of ripe fruit, banana, some clove and a bit of bread in the nose. Pours dark copper with nice white head and some lace. Full mouth, carbonation is spot on. This is a sweet beer, not overly hopped at all. Good carmel tasting malt background, some banana and clove but its mild, chillis barely detectable. Stars sweet finishes clean, alcohol very well masked. Gets a bit sour as it warms.

Wow, love the nose! Floral lavender, lemons, pine and pepper, and its a big nose too. Cloudy (whats up with that, this is the third otherwise delightful IPA's I have had in a can that are cloudy?) pale amber body is topped by a big frothy white head of medium retention ad nice lace. I hate grading an otherwise decent IPA down for being cloudy but what can I do? Mouth is nice, slightly creamy spot on with the carbonation, and slippery. Flavor follows the nose, touch of flowery sweetness with a good malt backbone, very nicely bittered, dry tart clean finish. Very nice IPA, nothing unique but a classic IPA, and almost in the WC style from this New England brewer. Just noticed crud in bottom of glass, not right for an IPA! knocking it down a bit more/

I might be stuffy but I am only getting a mild nose, hint of citrus, probably orange. Pours a light amber body with moderate short-lived head and decent lacing. Good mouth medium bodied and slightly creamy, carbonation is decent, I would not mind a bit more. Fairly hoppy in flavor most of the flavor is in the back end. Some orange, maybe some tobacco, a nutiness, strong malt backbone for an IPA, this one is close to English Pale. Nice bitterness to the finish. I like this beer although its a bit odd for an IPA. Alcohol well masked. RERATE 15 MINUTES LATER: This it the rare IPA that really blossoms after it warms a bit. Lots of fruit and flowers, how lovely to have an IPA that is quite bitter WITHOUT the standard big mouth of grapefruit, and with such a solid malt undertone. This one is aces! A testimony to a brewer that really understands the ingredients and how to achieve balance.

Very little happening in the nose. Light copper body with a white, moderate head that leaves a bit of lace. Mouth is medium bodied and a touch under-carbonated for my tastes. Malts are a bit on the sweet side, some carmel, hops are citrus and pine, not much spice. Finish is a bit sticky and sweet. Overall a fairly mild APA but well brewed and very sessionable, and available in the only smoking bar at the Atlanta airport (concourse A).(airport pricing) re-rate on draft this time hitting the spot on a hot and muggy evening not sure what was going on before when I reviewed it from the airport in Atlanta but damn this is really tasty salad hop character a little hint of wheat body is just fine leaving decent lace completely drinkable just be a spot on

This is very good ale! Nose is sweetish with lots of malt and significant hops, red/brown/mocha body topped with a nice foamy tan head and decent lace. Mouth is medium and creamy with very nice carbonation. Taste is rich and deep, lots of sweet malt and well hopped finish, reminds me a bit of a tamer version of their brown sugga. Lovely brew!

IT APPEARS THIS IS NOT THE SAME BEER (just the same name and brewer) that has been previously reviewed here, it is now called an American Amber Ale. (I think its more an Irish Red than anything.) Nice nose, toasted malt predominates, some chocolate and coffee notes, light citrus brings up the rear. Medium copper body is foggy and topped with a tan moderate head with good retention and decent lace. Mouth is medium to light and slightly chewy, carbonation a well done tickle. This beer is sweet and tart. Not complex but nicely balanced. Some chocolate, some coffee from the malts, sweet but not cloying, hops just detectable but contribute to a surprisingly dry and clean finish. This sucker is pretty well made and it is what it is. Extremely sessionable!

Malt and vanilla in the nose , a bit of grass, and with slight hint of floral and pine notes. Very nice thick white head over a deep golden body, great retention and nice lace. Mouth is medium bodied on the light side and well balanced on the various palettes. it is a bit creamy. Carbonation is spot on. Flavor is VERY mild and very nicely balanced. (OK, not my favorite style but reviewing it for what it is.) Starts with a hint of sweet, goes to a bit of sour, touch of bittering in the finish. Incredibly dry at the end with almost zero aftertaste. While I have said this before about bad beers in mean it nicely in this case, "best drink of water you will ever have." At a 4.9 abv, totally masked, this would be highly sessionable. 15 minutes later the is still a nice skim coat and decent lace. Not at all my style but really well crafted. Taste no adjuncts. What most US macros (although this is not) ought to be.

Nose is a bit subduedwith some peach lemon pepper and pine. Pours a clear medium copper body, surprising for an unfiltered beer. Topped with a respectable thick white head that leaves good lace and has good retention. Drinking in the Budweiser bar at the Atlanta Airport on a 4 hour layover to Key West, where you can actually smoke and drink, thus the price. Mouth is slick with carbonation spot on and the body medium. Pine and lemon in the flavor, some honey in mid taste,the hops are more about flavor than bittering although it does have a nice bite. Finishes clean dry and smooth. This is a really nice crew. Alcohol very well masked. Dangerously session able.

Some hops notes and ripe dark fruit in the nose and hints of roasted malt. Pours reddish deep copper with decent head. Mouth if full and sticky, carbonation spot on. Initially quite sweet but not cloying. Maybe its me but I think I taste some rye. Alcohol present but quite well masked for its power. Thick, fruity, not as hoppy as most Lags, but well balanced for a big beer, some fig or other dark ripe fruit notes. Goes down better than most big beers, which is just a bit scary.

Nose of pine and some citrus, some pepper, some sweet malty notes. Pours a slightly fogged medium copper body with a very nice long lasting off-white creamy head that leaves very nice lace. Creamy mouth that is on the fullish side. Nice carbonation. This baby is pretty hoppy. First taste is bitter, some grape or apricot flavor but minor. Solid malt backbone, burnt biscuit notes. Really nice bittering on the high rear of the pallet. Clean finish, very good IPA.

Ripe dark fruit, and roasted malts in the nose and some cotton candy. A foggy brown body is topped with a moderate off white head with good retention and only a bit of lace. Mouth is medium and a bit creamy with perfect carbonation. Make no mistake, this beer is sweet! Deep ripe fig and prune notes are soon overtaken with cotton candy, amazing to think they add no sugar. 9.5 and is totally masked with only a hint of warming. Aftertaste starts sweet but ends dry and clean. Masterful Brewing!

Born on date of Aug 13 2014 this one is pretty fresh. Nose is all cascade, the only hop in the brew I believe, grapefruit and floral notes abound with the malt givng a hint of sweetness. Medium amber orange body that is topped (with a somewhat vigorous pour) with a decent whtie head that has a long lsting skim coat and very nice lace. Mouth is medium light, spot on for an IPA with some slickness and spot on carbonation. Not super hoppy but very well balanced, a hint of sweet biscut at the start with a bit of grapefruit followed by very nice bitterness that is balanced with the touch of sweet. Finishes slightly wet and quite clean. Lets hear it for the local guys and gals making a lovely fresh beer availble here. The have an (860) IPA I need to try, they say its a bit heavier. (They are naming their brew lines after local area codes/) Oh...the alcohol is slightly warming but well masked.

Cheers for a brew in a good old court bottle! Major pine in the nose, and its a big nose, also orange and cotton candy. This is a great, long-lasting nose! Medium gold body does not hint and the flavor wallop this thing packs. Topped with a nice white head that lasts and laces. Mouth is medium and creamy with good carbonation level. Flavor, yup its got flavor! Bitter orange, pine resin, lightly roasted malts, some rye in the profile, cotton candy in mid taste, finish is bitter and sour and just a bit wet. (prejudice review, I loved Brown Shugga). This ones aces!

Grass and apple in the nose. A good looking blonde! Slightly hazed pale gold body with a skim coat off white head and tiny lace. Medium to light mouth that is not watery. Easy drinking flavor clean with some nice grass and a hint of barnyard sour. Shows that simpliciy can be beautiful.
