355ml can. Pours a clear gold with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that laces. Mild aroma of grainy pale malt, rice, yeast and floral hops. Sweet flavour of grainy pale malt, sorghum, orange, peach and spicy hops in a dry, bitter finish. Light body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Not bad for what it is.

473ml can. Pours a hazy amber with a medium, foamy, short lived, beige head that laces. Mild spicy aroma of toasted grainy pale malt, cinnamon and pumpkin. Sweet, spicy flavour of caramel malt, cinnamon, pumpkin, nutmeg and clove in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. As far as pumpkin beers go, this was just ok.

Amber, he fades immediately. Light pumpkin pie spice in nose, stronger in palate. Poor carbo, lifeless and flat

This wasn't good enough for a drain pour, so I dumped it in the toilet !!This wasn't good enough for a drain pour, so I dumped it in the toilet !!

Office tick. Definitely on the caramel side. A touch more bitterness than expected. But still sweet. I’m guessing one is plenty.

Glass in a random Chinese Restaurant, Victoria, Vancouver Island on 14th August 2025. No idea if it was draft or from a can or bottle (too busy eating to ask). Slight haze in the golden body, weak white head that soon departed. Nothing exciting or different here, just a steady Lager that went well with my meal. No strong aromas or flavours but nothing awful or nasty either.

473ml can. Pours a hazy gold with a small, foamy, short lived, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Sweet aroma of bready wheat malt, vanilla, lime and floral hops. Sweet flavour of grainy wheat malt, lactose, lime and floral hops in a dry, slightly tart finish. Light body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Ironic that this is a Sour because it was too sweet for me.

330mL can. Pours clear pale blonde with a white head. Pale grains and a bit of skunk on the nose. Flavour has burnt white bread, grainy, boozy fermented wheat. Very poor.

Ive had many honey lagers, and they are all a gimmick, the honey is usualy just for color, and does nothing for the flavour. Well, this beer bucks that trend. Its pours clear copper, with a small white head. The aroma is some light nuts, some maple sugar, brown sugar, cheap, sweet grains and yes, some floral honey. The mouth feel and body are standard. The finish is lightly bitter with an at first cloyingly sweet malt base, that is actaully off putting, but as soon as it came, it leaves. The finish is incredibly quick and dry. Once the sweetness is gone, there is nothing left. An odd beer.
