Cloudy orange color. It has the profile of a Weizenbock, quite bold, spicy (cloves), dry, but no banana esters; and no pumpkin or "pumpkin" spices (which is positive). Pithy bitterness in the final. Deceiving beer. Ok Weizenbock.

Hazy light amber-tan. On the nose, a little cinnamon and nutmeg, and a fair bit of sweet malt. Soft body, lots of sweetness and the spices are actually fairly gentle. I appreciate that - some examples are too assertive for me, but a lighter example like this needs a deft touch.

On tap at Yaletown, pours a cloudy bright golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is pretty subdued, with nutmeg and clove, not much actual pumpkin character. Flavour is murky and muffled, with light nutmeg and cinnamon, along with clove. Don't get any pumpkin. The spices are jumbled and not well-integrated. Not good.
