Bottle that I found in Sainsburys, Kidlington, Oxon recently, consumed Dec 08. Pours hazy golden moving to light amber with a large white fluffy head. Nice wheaty nose with some spices and yeastiness in there. This is far better than expected and actually quite decent and refreshing. If I was being critical I suppose the spices and citrusiness which are very much in evidence are not quite subtle enough and its a little sweet but I really didnt mind it at all despite these faults.

Seems to be a mild APA. Has some bitter hop attributes. Finish has some personality sneaking in there.

Pours deep amber into a shaker. Offwhite head recedes to skim surface. Sweet upfront with yeast and caramel. Lasting caramel finish.

12 ounce bottle. Coors attempts a dubbell. Hmm. Pours a reddish brown color with a medium head. Poor head retention and lacing. Aroma is sweet and earthy malts. Sweet caramel malts in the taste, with not much else. Thin bodied.

[355ml bottle from Sainsbury’s - labelled as "North American Craft Beer" rather than "Belgian White Ale" and brewed by BMBC in Toronto.] Cloudy orange with thin white head; aroma has some citrus and some grain; flavour the same, rather soapy and floury mouthfeel. Refreshing, but nothing more.

Bottle. Pour is a yellow body with a smallish white head. Aromas promise sweet sugars and lemon. Flavor is a mess of honey sweetness and lemon that ends in the drain.

12oz bottle. Filtered orange-brown color. Moderately spicy, but lacks the thickness of a true Pumpkin Ale. The malt profile comes across a little thin and adjuncty as well. Not unenjoyable, just not up to par for the style.

Pours with a clear orange-brown body with a small, foamy off-white head that goes quickly. Aroma of hay, nutmeg, allspice, pumpkin and cinnamon. Taste is very watery, with hay and astringency, then some unconnected spices. Fizzy and dry.
