Junction Road store. Aromas are spoiled pumpkin and spice. Flavors are much better than nose. Actually this is the most realistic pumpkin pie beer I've ever had. Pumpkin, spices and sweetness are not overdone. Still, a little bit of the rotten pumpkin gets through. Very thick and decent carbonation.

Junction Road store. Appearances are a little odd - pours very thick with no head but after sitting for a minute or two, develops a creamy off-white small head. Aromas are apple, cinnamon, malt and a little bit of yeast. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, at first an apple cinnamon fritter then, then malt, yeast and something like cream come in, in a way that doesn't entirely work. More sweet than tart. Finish follows flavors. Interesting and glad to have tried one but don't want another.

16 oz. can. Plenty of strawberry and pineapple in the pour. Kind of a dirty orange color, with some thick foam. A nice taste like a fizzy pineapple juice, with equal parts strawberry. And this time, there's a nice burn of habanero. Natural fruit taste overruns the beer, but that's quite all right.

16 oz. can from Orange & Brew. Pours hazy yellow with pineapple juice color. Chunky foam over a light pineapple juice nose. Pineapple juice flavor, of course, followed by a citrus accent. Can't really pick up the jalapeño. Swirled beforehand to pick up lots of juice pulp.

16 ounce can from Tavour. My 1,460th brewery tick. Murky banana yellow pour. Finger high creamy beige head. Aroma is sweet banana cream pie. Flavor is slightly tangy, with strong notes of pineapple and banana. Thick, viscous texture and mouthfeel. Quite unique, definitely tasty.

Can from Brew Export UK. Hazy orange pour with a white head. Nice nose of pineapple, coconut, apricot, peach. Ooh yeah cocktail beer! Bundles of pina colada vibes in the taste, splosh of tangerine, apricot & peach. Fruity sweet aftertaste. I'm a closet cocktail man & this is a cracker 😋

21st July 2024 Panda thanks to Wingman. Very hazy blackcurrant colour beer, small and short lived magenta head. Light palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Good berry fruit richness, never acid thanks to the nicely balanced yoghurt, that comes over quite vanilla like. Blackcurrant, blackberry, raspberry, touch of strawberry. A little spice on the semi dry finish, not obviously cinnamon though. A nicely put together fruity affair, goes down well.

Panda, thanks to Wingman. Near clear dark brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Light and smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Slightly thin feeling dark malts for the style but I don't feel short changed a single penny on the flavour front. A rich and sweet mix of dark and milk chocolate syrupy goodness. Chocolate cake. Tastes like someone threw a fair dose of chilli in here, the back end bites! Fruity chocolate and spicy linger. Nice mix of chocolate and spice. Well, very nice actually.

Blik via Keukeman, thuis geprobeerd. Het is een troebel geel bier met een dun gelig schuim. Het heeft een aroma van kokos en ananas. De smaak is vol ananas, zoet fruitig met een heerlijke kokos afdronk.
