On tap at Lost Nation, pours a cloudy dark orange amber with a medium white head. Aroma brings out moderately expressed dry floral hops and biscuity malt. Flavour is fairly grainy, with light farmhouse notes, a vegetal character and crisp biscuity malt. Too vegetal for my tastes. It's okay.

From tap. Pours hazy orange with a small off white head. Aroma is grapefruity and slight toasted malty. Bitter, fruity. Crisp hoppy. Lingering fruity and toasted finish.

Draught at the brewery, 5/26/17.
Dark amber, clear with a well-retained, white head atop.
Smells of light cereal grain (biscuit, corn, vanilla) with some butter behind it. Lots of specialty malt here creating a large range of bread and red fruit character as the hops yield light pepper and herbs. Pretty straightforward amber ale and the grain character is pleasant enough, though having to contend with the light diacetyl is a bit problematic.
Very dry in the mouth with a somewhat hard, grainy texture and moderately engaging carbonation. Red fruits, light toffee, brown bread and a strong peppery hop character all keep the palate dry and it goes through various stages of brightness to arrive at a somewhat malty, very bready finish with mild bitterness and a touch of butter and sourdough lingering. I think it does what it sets out to do, for the most part, but needs a bit more softness/suppleness from the malt to combat the strong specialty malt aspect/heavy bread/grain character.

On tap at Hinesburg public house.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy burnt amber color with a bar pour’s kind of slim white head that just dissipated immediately.
The smell started off with some deep toasty caramel malts embedded with floral and slightly funky tones.
The taste copies the aroma leading into the aftertaste with a thick caramel malt depth. It’s mostly dry on the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation hits fairly light.
Overall, it’s a good Amber ale with some other things going on to try and make it stand out. If anything, it’s a good effort by Lost Nation.
