Dark brown pour, small beige head. Aroma is spicy, slightly sweet, big on cinnamon, and nutmeg with some light fruit. Can’t say I’m getting any distinct sweet potatoes or squash. Taste juts like a malted, sweeter pumpkin ale with all the pumpkin pie spices. Not bad, not great.

Can from the lcbo. Hazy amber pour with a light beige medium sized head. Light caramel aroma, soft grassy hops, light cereals. Hints of toffee, watery thin low bitterness finish. Meh, run of the mill, decent, but nothjg special.

Orange pour with a pink tinge, and a medium white head. Aroma is tart, herbal and green. Herbal tea, wet paper, and some wet grass. The tea adds a solid bitterness, and green, herbal Aroma. Medium bitter finish, light pepper, strong carbonation. A decent saison with a strong herbal tea Aroma and flavour, and a subtle tartness.

Dark brown pour, big beige head. Aroma is very smokey, big notes of campfire, and bacon, with slme charred malts. Cant say i notice any honey in particular, this is just a standard smoked ale. Reminds me alot of a smoked porter actually, not sure what the honey has anything to do with this beer. Lots of smoky notes, and not much else.

Can that pours a middle-hazy, light-golden, straw-yellow colour with a big fluffy-frothy white cap, good retention and lots of foamy lacing. Mostly hoppy aromas with grassy and citrus notes.The mouthfeel is crisp, refreshing and dry enough in the end. Flavours are fairly bitter with the hops. Decent citrus as well here. An easy-drinking, lightly-dry, session IPA that is pretty nice.
Sweet, citrus, fruity, juicy, bitter

Pours a clean darker amber colour or light-copper with a frothy-creamy beige head, good stay and some wavy-creamy lacing. The nose is quite yeasty at first, and not the good Belgian one. This changes into a sweet nose with caramel, maple syrup, but also well-blended with some fruitiness, like cherries and other fruits. The taste is pretty malty with a lot found in the nose, but really, really mild. A little less balanced as well with the light hops that should not show in here. Easy-drinking for a 7.5% ABV, that's about it.

Can from the LCBO. Wouldn't have bothered except for the donation to Wounded Warriors. Dark copper under a small off white head that fades quickly to a sheet. Nose has caramel, cereal and some grass. Light+ toffee sweetness and a similar grassy bitterness, Mouth is medium- with average carbonation. Passable. 7/3/6+/3/12+
