Pumpkin Ale
The color of this brew is a reddish copper. It had a mild white rad that dissipated at a moderate pace and left a little residue in the center. The brew is translucent, the color and body only let light through.
The aroma is mildly spiced. There are hints of cinnamon, and nutmeg. The beer also gives off a slight bit of meaty pumpkin. Nothing about this aroma wowing but there is a decent aroma that you have to get close to to notice.
On the palate the extremely mild carbonation gives way to a beer that to me is blah. The spice is just like the aroma, mild and not really appealing. The pumpkin flavor itself is blah and not an impact on this beer. The beer finishes with an out if nowhere bitterness that leaves a metally taste on the tongue for a few seconds. If you are wondering if this is a fresh beer, it is!!!
Ok, I bought this beer because I had to try it. I have actually not liked a single beer Long Trail has made that I have had. I didn't want to be close minded and figure all their beers are bad, but this is another to add to the list. I simply don't like it. Will I ever by a Long Trail again? Yes, only cuz I have to believe they make a good beer, but this isn't it. I give this a 1.5 out of 5, only because the aroma isn't horrible.
