500ml bottle from my local Co-Op, Shrewsbury. My notes say: "tastes of bland, beery nothingness". I’m pretty sure that’s an accurate assessment.

Deep amber colour with an off white head. Moderate sweet and fruity aroma. Moderate sweet, fruity and hoppy flavour. Some spices in the tail. Quite decent pumpkin ale. Fine body for an 3.8%.

I’m sure this used to be better than this? Dark, copper colour. Off white head. Aroma is burnt sugar, some spiciness. Taste is a harsh bitterness, with an unpleasant, back of the mouth, sweet finish.

Some sweetness and earthiness in the aroma. It’s an average bitter with light pumpkin flavour and hint of spice in the finish.

Bottle at Deanso’s crappy music tasting, Den Haag. Poured a clear medium amber with a thin white head. The aroma is malty but weak. The flavour is medium bitter with some malt, but nothing much that grabbed me. I didn’t get the pumpkin.

Sampled from bottle @ Dean plays crappy music tasting. Clear rusty color, small off-white head. Smell malts, lightly fruity. Taste malts, some bitter, don’t get the pumpkin though. Low to medium body and carbonation.

Bottle shared at Deanso’s crappy music tasting at a time when the music is reaching an all time low. Thankfully the beer isn’t! Pumpking pours clear bet with a small off white head. Aroma of malt, bread, spice, some fruits. Flavour is moderate sweet and light bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Bottle from Aldi, Manchester. Amber ale with no head. Slightly spiced in the palate with some orange citrus notes in aroma and aftertaste.
