Does aroma really need a category of its own? What should a winning beer smell like? It’s perfectly ok to talk about aroma, but this isn’t perfume and there’s no winner or loser in aroma.

You talked far more about the smell and the appearance of the beer than you did the actual taste. It wasn’t even close. You really didn’t give much feedback on how one tasted vs. the other. That’s a rather big omission.

I’ve had both and I prefer the long trail. Read the reviews of the beer online and you’ll just get bad opinions of people with poor palettes. They whine because they can’t handle subtle flavors.

The beer is great for summer. It’s dry, crisp, refreshing and lower alcohol so when you’re out on a hot night you can drink a ton of them.

The Samual Jackson, oops I mean Adams, is good too, but I prefer the long trail.

I think more and more women are now getting into good beer, there’s a lot of buzz online. There is more good information available from the bottom up rather than women just being marketed to by the brewers in their usual stupid ways.

I liked it, but its not a favorite style of mine. I’ll try anything at least once.

So that’s probably one demographic that keeps this style of beer going. But I’m not going to lie – I kind of like them too. It’s different you know? And I like fruit flavors and I like sweet things and I like beer, so when the flavors come together in a balanced way I can dig that.

That being said Peter thinks the fruit usually doesn’t balance with the rest of the beer, and I can respect that. Although it hits my palate differently.

That said I’m an overall fan of the style. The Sea Dog Blueberry Wheat beer is pretty enjoyable, is this in that same category of being a nice beer with well-balanced fruit flavors?
