Double Bag is essentially an amped up version of Long Trail Ale. It’s a style known as Sticke Alt – “sticke” meaning “secret” – which could be considered as a double or imperial altbier. It’s a fairly rare style, but one we’re always interested to try, as it pumps up all the qualities that we love so much in altbiers. On the pour, Double Bag looks very much like its little brother, with a ruddy amber complexion with orange flashes around the edges, great clarity, and plenty of light beige foam. On the nose, look for a deeply malty and quite...

Pouring a pale straw hue with a bright, modest head, Was Angeles offers a clean and approachable presentation. On the nose you’ll find fresh malt aromas of light bread crust and a hint of green cereal, followed by subtle floral and grassy hop whispers. The aroma stays relaxed and straightforward—there’s no fruited hop barrage or resinous bitterness, just a crisp sentiment of “beer” done well. On the palate it delivers a soft, easy‐going...

This is the beer that started it all for Long Trail Brewing Co. back in 1989, and it sure was a good foundation from which to build. This brew is crafted as an altbier, a German style with a deep history around Düsseldorf. Translating to “old beer”, the name is a reference to the old style of brewing with ale yeast prior to the proliferation of lager brewing in Germany. Long Trail Ale pours an attractive reddish amber color with nice clarity...

Pouring a hazy golden hue crowned with a soft white head, Golden Spike showcases Uinta’s talent for turning simplicity into refinement. The aroma opens with bright notes of orange zest and lemon peel layered over gentle tones of wheat bread and clover honey. Subtle spice from the yeast drifts through, lending just enough complexity to keep the nose lively and fresh. On the palate, this unfiltered wheat ale delivers a smooth, medium body...

Pouring a radiant golden-hue with a lively off-white head, Wyld Juicy welcomes you with a vibrant tropical aroma: ripe mango, pineapple, orange zest and a whisper of white grape all dance in the glass. The malt base stays crisp and clean, letting the hop-forward character shine without becoming heavy. A faint hint of soft, pillowy wheat or flaked oats underpins the aromatics, helping to lift the fruit without muddying the profile. On the...

Pouring a deep golden hue capped with a frothy white head, Après IPA embodies the spirit of a day well spent on the mountain—bold, rewarding, and built for those who’ve earned it. The aroma opens with an assertive hop bouquet of pine resin, grapefruit peel, and orange zest, joined by subtle hints of tropical fruit and herbal spice. Beneath the vibrant hop character lies a sturdy malt foundation of Pale, Bonlander, and Crystal 80 malts, lending...

- Serving Temperature: 47-52º F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Snifter, IPA Glass
- Hops: Galaxy, Chinook
- Malts: Munich, Caramel 40
- Country: United States
This bold IPA from Uinta pours a medium amber color that's quite hazy, topped with a large crop of khaki foam. The aroma on this brew intrigued us right away with big notes of lime backed by lemon, passion fruit, touches of melon, earth, and hints of berry. Those lime impressions—a calling card of the Australian Galaxy hops—aren't shy on the palate either, as they grip one's taste buds immediately, bolstered by secondary notes of melon and...
- Bottle Size: 500-ml
- Style: Irish Red Ale
- ABV: 4.5%
- Serving Temperature: 45-55° F
- Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass, Tulip
- Country: Ireland
Pouring a deep russet-ruby to dark amber hue, Killanny Red presents a softly dulled copper glow with a light beige head and persistent lace. On the nose, expect rich caramel and biscuity malt aromas, toasted hazelnut or nutty-bread undertones, and hints of red-berry fruit and subtle woodsy or leaf-tea character. The palate is smooth and medium-bodied, opening with the same caramel and biscuit malt core, underscored by toasted bread crust...
- Bottle Size: 330-ml
- Style: German-style Pilsner
- ABV: 5.2%
- Serving Temperature: 40-45° F
- Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass, Flute
- Country: Belgium
While Brouwerij De Brabandere may be known worldwide as an excellent brewer of Belgian ale styles, like those in their Petrus line, they also happen to be very skilled at brewing pilsner, with their Super Pils having won numerous taste tests and even laboratory analyses of several dozen pilsners sold in Belgium. Recent awards include a Gold Medal at the 2021 World Beer Challenge, and back to back wins as the best Belgian-brewed pilsner at the...

- ABV: 10%
- Serving Temperature: 50–55°F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip Glass or Snifter
- Country: United States
Kodiak pours a dense, inky mahogany to near-black hue, crowned by a creamy tan head that lingers and clings to the glass. The nose is immediately bold and inviting, with layered roast and malt depth: fresh espresso, dark chocolate, and toasted grain are framed by hints of caramel, cocoa powder, and subtle dark fruit. There’s a refined lager-like cleanliness beneath the richness, keeping the aromatics focused rather than cloying...
- Bottle Size: 16-oz
- Style: Russian Imperial Stout with Red Miso Paste
- ABV: 11.5%
- Serving Temperature: 50 – 55 °F
- Suggested Glassware: Snifter or Tulip Glass
- Country: United States
Japas Cervejaria’s Black Miso pours a deep, opaque black with a dense mocha-brown head that lingers and leaves elegant lacing with each swirl. The aroma is captivating—rich espresso and dark chocolate lead the way, soon joined by umami depth from the Japanese miso. Subtle notes of molasses, soy, black licorice, and roasted nuts mingle with hints of dried fig and caramelized sugar, creating a nose both indulgent and intriguing. The miso element...
