Pint can from Ridgeview Liquor, 5/6/22. Very hazy orange, large fizzy off-white head, good retention. Aroma of leafy hops, tangerine, melon, hint of vanilla. Taste is tangerine, grapefruit, orange, caramel malt. Low bitterness, flat, flaccid. Meh. Date on the can is illegible, but I bought it at a reputable beer store with high turnover just two weeks ago.

Great citrus aroma and rich tangerine. Hazy golden pour. Bitter finish. Nice IPA. Kind of incorporates good elements of West Coaster and a hazy IPA. Can.

Sampled from the tap at First Draft. Pours a hazy yellow orange with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a nice bright citrus with a bit of dankness and light sweet grains underlying. Flavor has dank and bitter citrus with some tropical fruits and sweet grains underlying.

Barley malt and fresh hay aroma. Golden yellow with moderate off-white head. Moderately sweet corn syrup, barley malt, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Okay body. Way too sweet for a Czech pilsner.

16 oz. Aroma is lemon, Lemonheads candy, vanilla. Pours hazy orange-golden with a quickly collapsing bone-white head; no trace of head whatsoever after a couple minutes. Taste is highly sour (8/10 on a sour scale), which I wasn't expecting at all since it's a blonde ale, and lightly sweet. Flavors like the aroma along with a hint of grain. Interesting and tasty.

16 oz. Apparently, this can is 8.9% ABV. Aroma has notes of pumpkin, clove, apple, booze, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla. Pours hazy golden-orange with a thin off-white head that collapses immediately into a thin collar. Taste is moderately sweet, lightly tart, with flavors of pumpkin pie spices. Alcohol is hidden extremely well. Thin and watery texture with soft carbonation. Not the best pumpkin beer by any means, but it's not bad.

16oz can from Tavour. Cloudy orange, golden. Pumpkin, squash aroma, spice kept to a minimum. Taste is sweet and savory. Rich, full. This is what all pumpkin beers should taste like.

16oz can pours out hazy straw topped with a small ring of a head. Nose is nice big pumpkin pie spice lacto vanilla. Taste is more of the nice sweet pumpkin pie vanilla whip cream on top.
