This is a very nicely made amber lager by a prominent Vermont brewery mostly known for their IPAs. Thankfully, they are also brewing more traditional lagers. This is one of them.

Pours a rich yet elegant amber copper color. The aroma is very malt forward. The taste is delightfully elegantly malty without being overdone.

Worthy.

From an undated 12oz can (mix pack box was dated 3/6/24) into a pint glass.

Pours a nearly translucent dark amber color with almost one finger of light tan head. Pretty abysmal retention and lacing.

Nice enough aroma. Caramel, bread and some dark fruits.

Taste follows the nose. Dark fruit and caramel in the lead with bread lightly in the background.

Medium bodied mouthfeel. Low carbonation. Dark fruit aftertaste.

This is a pretty complex amber lager. Really nice maltiness.

Pours an amber color with a minimal head that disappears quickly. Aroma of spices and lightly roasted malts. Taste is peppery with a hint of caramel. Crisp and dry.

12 ounce can with no discernible date.

Moderate pour yields a 3/4 inch off white head over a fairly bright amber body with lacing.

Nose is malt, caramel, cracker with slight hop bitterness on the finish.

Good feel with near medium carbonation.

Overall, a nice stab at an Amber Lager!

Cheers!
