Stand Out is a renewal of the classic American pale ale -- brewed in the spirit of adventure, and showcasing the Equinox hop. This brand new variety features pronounced herbal and citrus notes.
An American pale ale construction allows the Equinox hops to shine. We've stepped off-the-beaten-path with this recipe, so brave the elements, reach the peak and savor life's stand out moments.

Pours a light copper with about a finger of head. The nose is earthy and a somewhat hoppy. The body is light and the flavor profile could use a bit more malt to balance it out. The hoppiness can certainly rival any decent IPA out there.

I got this beer in a mixed 12pck from a beer store in PA that was near the WV border. It poured a clear yellow with white head that is leaving a spotty lace. The scent had hints of lemon bitterness. The taste leaned bitter with a medicinal finish. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Over it's a decent beer.

Really enjoyed this sort of lite American pale ale with hints of pine. Was a nice old change from the heavy American pale ales.

Bottle dated 1/17/17. Smell definitely get a hint of citrus and some hops. Pours a nice fuffy head. A decent yellowing/golden color with quite a bit of carbonation after the first pour. Definitely nothing complex but this is a solid tasting beer. Very refreshing. I really enjoyed the equinox hops.

Weird IPA due to Equinox hop. Must try one.
A: The beer is murky, but perky gold amber color with a lasting head that washes lace round the glass.
S: that strange hop asserts itself with grass, hemp, weed, and peppery onion - along with pine & faint fruit, not much malt.
T: Grassy and onion grass, dank and odd pot closet, with citrus hop backed by bread crust and apricot marmalade. Complex, but the oddness mars.
M: Oddly peppery, a bit thin, leaves you in dank place. Feels like a bigger beer than it is.
O: Does not invite a second but worth a try.

Decent looking brew. Hazy with lots of carb bubbles rising. Like the smell though I'm having a hard time pinning it down. Slightly dank, citrus and some melon is what I get. I like the flavor, it's distinct to start with a dank weedy taste along with a bit of a hop bite that mellows into a slightly citric and bitter finish. Fairly well carbonation and a slightly creamy mouthfeel round out this beer. I think it's really decent.

LOOK: Pours a crystal clear pale straw yellow with a prominent all white head that has good retention and sticky side glass lace.
AROMA: Strong pungent lemon citrus that seems mixed with perfume as in the kind that comes out of a chemical lab. Not inviting. In the future I will be more careful about getting beers with Equinox hops.
Get some major yeast taste in the flavor along with some bread malts.
I have loved all the prior Long Trail beers that I have had.
This one certainly did "STAND OUT, " but not in a good way.

A well carbonated, yellow-gold color. High rise white fluffy foam, sticky lace, good cover.
A very bold, n' earthy, spicy, citrus....bold ass hop nose. Very dense hop aroma with buttery, but crisp malt balance. Lovin' the equinox hop!!
The flavor has a very peppery, herbal, spice hop tinge, dig the earthy effects of the equinox. Subtle citrus and pine as well, the buttery malt aroma turns out to be much more light and crisp in the flavor profile. Truely allows the Equinox hops to shine. I am diggin' this very light malt/big, earthy hop balance for the pale ale.
Amazingly easy to drink, yet constantly interesting.
Been a go-to since early 2016.
