Long Trail Ale
I was drinking this when it came out in the 90's but haven't had it in about 10 years until recently. Their IPA used to be my standby. The altbier Ale is a good, sound ale. Good balance of malt and hops, with trademark ale malt-sweetness present. The finish is clean as mentioned in previous reviews, and that's a good thing in the land of heavy amber ales. The ale yeast is adding a distinctive fruitiness. Somewhat over-carbonated, but that's true of most American ales (bottled anyway). For the price (11.99/12) it can't be be up here in NE...neck and neck with Dundee's offering's from the ol' Genny plant.
