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.

5.1
Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 4 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5.5

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.

6.9
Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5

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
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.

5.8
Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 4 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6

Muddy yellow body and okay foam, soft apricot skin on the nose. Flavour is nice apricot with just the right amount of sweetness. Good carbonation. Not bad balance here.

Dark brown body of no distinction, weak molasses on the nose. Flavour is chewy molasses and barley with a dry finish. Not bad at all but not much to look at.
