Very hazy amber beer with a small pale cream coloured head. Palate is smooth with a nice minerally carbonation. Good sweet fruity pumpkin here, lightly tangy. Spices are evident but not overdone, which is nice for a pumpkin beer! Finishes light. Good stuff.

Bottle drank on hols in St Ives. Opaque dark brown beer. Palate is light and semi dry. Tangy malts with a modest dark character. Tangy ripe orange. A little licorice - aniseed. Light dry finish. Interesting and tasty if a bit dry. Also starting to notice a characteristic tang on Rebel beers.

Cask at the Rake. It pours clear orange-amber with a small white head. The nose is rather sweet...pumpkin pie, faint spice, candy and light ketchup. The taste is sweet pumpkin pie, vanilla sugar, candy and earth with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Not a whole lot going on and perhaps a touch too sweet, but tis alright.

Hazy deep red - amber beer. Good pale cream coloured head. Palate is minerally crisp. Thin malt, a little lactose and cream and a touch of caramel. Typical Rebel tang but light here. Whispers of Coca Cola and Dr Pepper. Pretty tasty and well joined up.

Bottle at the Famous Royal Navy Volunteer, Bristol. Pours a very dark brown colour with a small beige colour head. Aroma of sweet chocolate, cocoa, and cola. Something of a spicy fiery kick to it, to go with the sweetness. Medium-full body and minimal carbonation. Interesting, a beer that divided opinion among those I was with.
