Long Trail Ale Brown Ale - 4.6% ABV Pete This is a typical brown ale. It has some mild, but no overpowering flavors, and it is perfectly smooth, with very little aftertaste. It's worth drinking, but it won't keep me coming back for more.
Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's
Long Trail Barrel Aged Unearthed Imperial Stout - 9.6% ABV Pete This has a hint of chocolate in it, and it is super rich. Unfortunately, that gets completely overwhelmed by how boozy it is.

Long Trail Belgian White Belgian White - 4.7% ABV Pete As a Belgian White lover, I like this beer. I am generally not a fan of unfiltered beers, as it can lend to some inconsistent tastes, and this was definitely the case here, more so than must witbiers. If you are choosing between Belgian White’s, , this is a decent option, but there is nothing special about it. You might as well spring for an Allagash White.

Long Trail Blackbeary Wheat Fruit Beer - 4.0% ABV Pete I am a huge fan of this beer. I was expecting an overpowering fruity flavor, but was pleasantly surprised to have a true beer flavor with a hint of blackberry. I honestly bought this beer because the logo on the front is great, but I would buy it again based on taste.

Long Trail Citrus Limbo IPA IPA - 7.6% ABV Pete This is pretty much exactly the same as the regular one. It just doesn't have enough flavor.
Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's
Long Trail Cranberry Gose Gose - 5.2% ABV Pete This has a tiny hint of sour and a definite taste of cranberry. I wanted more flavor, and I'm not sure cranberry is really the right choice of fruit for this, but at least it's a little different.

Long Trail Double Bag Altbier - 7.2% ABV Pete Not a good beer. Malty with something off about it.

Long Trail Green Blaze IPA IPA - 6.5% ABV Pete This is a surprisingly easy to drink IPA that almost tastes a little grassy. Like almost piney, but slightly different. Somehow that works.

Long Trail Harvest Brown Ale - 4.6% ABV Pete This one is solid, but it could use more flavor. It has some hints of sweetness, but it left me wanting more.
Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's
Long Trail Hibernator Winter Ale - 5.6% ABV Pete This beer just plain isn't very good. It's not that it tastes bad, it's just that it doesn't taste like anything, which is pretty impressive for a beer that packs a decent punch.

Long Trail Hit The Trail Ale Brown Ale - 4.4% ABV Pete This is the definition of an average beer. It is pretty smooth, has a little bit of sweetness, but lacks defining flavors, and doesn't have enough alcohol to suit my tastes.
