473mL can, pours a deep dark copper with a small with a small beige head. Aroma brings out bready malt, subdued hops, and a touch of caramel. Flavour is lightly bitter, with dry bready malt, toasted caramel, and bitter pine on the finish. Bitter finish, yet quite malty. It's pleasant.

Dry cardboard aroma, middling yellow body with little foam on top. Flavour is bright chewy grains, very nice in fact. Mouthfeel is crisp, the right sweetness, just right. This is good stuff, nicely balanced.

Good brown body and nice foam, mellow nondescript malts on the nose. Flavour is an okay pilsner base with caramel hints. Nothing is pushing through nor well defined.

Nice foam amd deep brown colour, good reliable pumpkin spice on the nose. Flavour is big pumpkin spice, like incense, yet still reasonably balanced with no cloying elements. For what it is I think they did well.

3.5/10 Appearance 4 Aroma 4 Flavor 3 Texture 2 Overall 4
Clearish brown body and okay foam, thin and faint molasses on the nose. Flavour is soft tin and sugar. Malt character is too subdued and the sugar lingers. This one is a miss.
