Reviewed from notes.
Can to stange.
Appearance: golden yellow in color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: light floral to grassy and earthy hops with some toast which seems slightly buttery, hmmmm...diacetyl? Yeah, I believe so
Flavor: tries to mesh the prior noted aromas together and mostly does so in a semi-buttery to sweet quality; finishes buttery toasty and floral
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, some smoothness but starting to become slick, I guess due to diacetyl, well crap
Overall: well crapsticks, hmmm..looking back through I'm trying to think the level of how bad this diacetyl is....hmmm...well, gonna try and be fair on these numbers...gulp, though kinda shaking my head thinking "Come on, Lost Nation, you're better than this."

Canned 9/27/24, drunk 12/28/24.
Nice to see LN is still canning. Clear coppery-brass. Big white head slowly to spotty cover.
Ahh, nice to see some things never change. Big ol face full of diacetyl. And honestly, it's damning for the style, but I kind of love it. Buttery and rich...the good diacetyl expression, if you will. Plentiful bright, herbal, aromatic hops and rich malts behind it.
Rich, malty, hoppy, buttery. Sure, the bright, dainty, peppery-herbal hops are at odds with the buttery diacetyl, but I still love it. Classic kolsch yeast notes and rich, deep malts for days with good attenuation and tight carbonation. This isn't GABF so I'm giving it a high score, as I think it's satisfying and barely problematic.
