Day 84, October 5

The Offering: Long Trail, IPA. Unfiltered IPA. Vermont, USA

ABV: 5.9%

This is Long Trails unfiltered IPA. They have been doing the filtered version for 13 years but this is the first year of unfiltered. I'm not really getting much of the unfiltered aspect, there are no yeasty beasties at the bottom of the glass and it really drinks like the filtered version. That being said it is a very drinkable IPA. It's not super bitter and it goes down smooth. The nose is muted with a little bit of the hoppy flowers. The mouth is pleasant with a little bitterness but not much else. Not a lot going on here but still a very drinkable beer. I'd call this an IPA to please the masses, more like an IPA to not turn off the masses. You will not not like it.

Points: 84
