Sampled at the brewery, pours a murky red with some ringing white head. Nose is cool, like a high end radler, plenty of grapefruit, both zest and fruit, some lemon too, a little soda. Flavor follows, lots of grapefruit juice, plenty of lightly bitter zest, light malt, light orange too, some grass. Crisp on the finish, scary drinkable.

Sampled at the brewery, pours a hazy orange amber with a ring of white head. Nose has plenty of traditional spice, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, all fairly restrained, root veg, some breakfast bread, light yeast. Flavor is very sweet, lots of brown sugar and malt, more of the expected spice, a little carrot cake, toffee, some raisin too. Full bodied, sweet finish. Not sure why more breweries don’t combine dubbels and pumpkin beers. Seems like a smart combo.

Sampled at the brewery, pours a watery, deep brown with a ring of off white head. Nose has... peanut butter! Also malt, toast, some cracker, creamy oats, a little molasses. Flavor is just like toast with peanut butter, a little nutella too, light coffee. Dry finish. Very drinkable. Kitschy, sure, but pretty well done.
