Long trail Tram Ale clone?

[Davemci]

Does anyone have a recipe for the long trail tram ale. They make it special for Jay Peak ski resort. Maybe if anyone has tried it and could take a guess to what the recipe could be or what kind of ale it is, that could help also. Thanks

Thanks, what does the brown sugar to for the beer?

 

[sptaylor70]

Lightens the finished product slightly (it's mostly fermentable), and gives a hint of rich, sweet, brown-sugary flavor.

Bump for the Jay Peak beer of choice, anyone?
