Slightly hazy copper pour, with a small off white head. Aroma is candied grapefruit zest, and astringent, sweet candy floss. Mouth feel is good, carb is also good. Medium to high hitter, candy sweetness, weird, candy fruit notes, tastes chemical, and artificial.

Clear golden pour, with a large, creamy white head. Aroma is sweeet cereals, orange zest, mandarin, with some zesty pine. Mouth feel is full, carb is soft, yes full. Finish is boozy, warming, sweet with a subtle orange Julius note. Not bad, not great.

Can from the LCBO. Copper pour, with a medium off white head. Nice to see a flying monkeys release that doesn't have MASSIVE, INTENSE, GIGANTIC, or EXPLOSION in the title with a minimum 12% alcohol. The artwork is still a mess, but that's another website. Soft pumpkin spice aroma, pie spices, cinnamon, with some roasted pumpkin notes as well. Mouth feel is good, carb is smooth. Finish is really a soft, bready, semi sweet pumpkin pie, with some light roasty notes. I was expecting a spice bomb, and was pleasantly surprised.

Can from the lcbo. Hazy yellow pour, with a large white head. Lime and coconut are the up front aromas. Guava and stone fruit follow. Mouth feel is creamy, carb is soft. Very salty finish, with a weird burnt rubber flavour thay doesnt go away. Earthy lime and semi sweet coconut. Weird, I did not enjoy.
