473ml can. Pours a clear amber with a small, foamy, short lived, beige head that laces. Mild aroma of caramel malt, nutmeg and vanilla. Sweet flavour of caramel malt, nutmeg, cinnamon, orange peel and vanilla in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light to medium body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Not really getting any pumpkin, more of a spiced beer.

473 ml can. Pours a dark brown with moderate tan head. Aromas of cinnamon, cola and light roasted malts. Flavors of cinammon, metallics and very light roasted malts. Thin and watery. Meh.

On tap at Steamworks Mount Pleasant. Pours a dull, murky ruddy colour with a white head. Light blackberries, pine, and lacto on the nose. Flavour has a dry, woody pine character, a bit muddled, some tart blackberries and tough grass. Not getting much fresh hop character, but as a hopped kettle sour this is a soft okay.

On tap at R & B, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of grassy hops, a touch of pine, herbal notes, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is clean-ish, with piney hops, some grassy notes, and crisp biscuity malt. Finishes moderately bitter, grassy and crisp. Not too bad.

On tap at R & B, pours a hazy reddish amber with a small off-white head. Aroma has plenty of muddled red berries, not much else. Flavour is much the same, with a dry, muddled berry character, some earthiness, and bready malt. Muddled, poor berry expression. Nothing invigorating about this. Not good.

Appearance - 5 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 5 | Overall - 5.5
On tap at R & B, pours a clear copper golden with a tiny head. Nose has plenty of lacto upfront, with a hint of kiwi, not much coconut. Flavour is more balanced, with lacto, coconut, and a touch of kiwi. Plenty of acidity here but not too bad. Simple beer, with too much yogurty lacto and not enough depth. Poor.

On tap at R & B, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma has some piney hops, biscuity malt, slight herbal notes, and a touch of vegetal character. Flavour is rather odd, with a herbal, vegetal hop character, a strange acidity, and other oddities I find inexplicable. Something wrong here. Bad.

On tap at R&B, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has some dull spruce, earthy hops, and some oxidation. Flavour is a trainwreck, with old earthy hops, cardboardy spruce, and bready malt. What is up with that flat hop expression? Poor.

On tap at R & B. Pours opaque dull yellow with a white head. Citra and pine on the nose. Flavour has stale old pine and a harsh chalky bitterness. Not very good.
