A lighter form of the seaward, but no less good for its style. Orange clear pour with ok head and lacing. Citrus, with some florals, light pine and a hint of pepper. Medium bitter finish. Average carbonation. Tap at brewpub.

Nice hops showcase. Sometimes I wonder if I’ve written the exact rating for an entirely different beer just by chance. Hazy orange with good head and lacing. Medium bitter finish. Some sweet malt. Tap at brewpub.

Forge seems to do pumpkin beers right - subtly and working within a style. Pours maroon and cloudy with decent head and lacing. Medium bitter finish. Citrus and some light floral aromas. Tap at brewpub.

Mostly a saison without too much pumpkin, thankfully. Light sweet and bitter finish with some sourness. Hay, and a touch of bubblegum. Citrus. Pumpkin and light spice. Hazy blonde pour with great head and lacing. Tap at brewpub.
