Poured from a 16 oz can purchased from store in Dorset, VT; no birth date. Golden amber color with plenty of foamy head that slowly recedes. Hoppy up front - tastes of orange rinds - that in not unpleasant. Solid but subtle malt on the back side. Really - really - like this! Should be a higher rating.

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.

Got it on tap at the Twisted Vine in Delmar, NY, where they serve it in a tumbler glass.

A: Coppery amber body with a small whitish head on top, which leaves behind good lacing.

S: Faint nose - caramel malt is about it.

T: Light toast and bready malt foundation is followed by a drying hoppy bitterness. Not what I was expecting - I thought there'd be more malt characteristics, and it drinks "light" overall - but it's good.

M: Lighter side of medium in heft, carbonation is appropriate.

O: Good, not great.

Growler filled at Bennington Beverage Outlet for $8.95.
Decent mild taste. Overall, middle of the road with malt and hops with nothing in-your-face. Dry hopped with mosaic?
