Bottle @ Burning Soul tasting, thanks to Haddock for this. Pours a hazy amber, small off-white head. Pumpkin in the aroma, pumpkin in the taste. Quite smooth, balanced, lightly spicy, soft malts. For a pumpkin beer it’s not bad.

Bomber from Half Moon Bay courtesy of Liz. Pours translucent dark gold with a white head. Aroma is dank - arguably from pine Maybe some melon. Med + body. Flavor is dank. It’s like hop oil coating the tongue. Not exactly dry, but dankly astringent. Very, very fruity and juicy. Some tropical - not mango tho. Citrus in a mild way. This is very hoppy. Difficult to parse all the potential flavors. This is really delicious stuff.
