Poured a clear golden yellow color with a small, fizzy head, but otherwise still. Aroma was big spiced pumpkin and apple - mostly cinnamon, nutmeg, some allspice? There's an underlying smoke to this. It's light, and okay.

Panda courtesy of SHIG, cheers Shawn! Orangey amber colour, bubbly white foam head and aroma of cinnamon, apple, doughnut. Taste is sweet, tangy, cinnamon, doughnut, vanilla, some apple, sugary, with alittle tartness. Medium bodied, light carbonation, sweet & drying cinnamon & apple finish. Quite drinkable.
