Panda thanks to Wingman. Near clear dark brown beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin bodied dark malts, a thin dark malt cream, a drop or three of ice cream van chocolate syrup. Clear nuts on the back end. Light crisp finish sees the flavours coming together well. A bit thin and a bit obvious but it's entertainment value is undeniable.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Near clear gold beer, small white head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Fairly thin bodied pale malts, a light sweetness that integrates well with the obvious honey. Honey soaked light tangerine and mandarin. Light and semi dry finish. Yeah, it's fine for what it is. Quite drinkable but that said, a whole can would be enough.

Spotty beige head on a vivid amber coloured body.
Spiced, vegetal & pumpkin aroma.
Medium bodied, smooth with a lightly sparkling back.
Onion, cinnamon, herbal, yeast & bitter hop tastes.
Nice enough for the style.

Aromas are bread, straw, malt and a bit of citrus. Flavors are similar to nose. A touch more sweet than bitter with medium carbonation and body for the style. Decent but not great.

250ml @ Ryan's (thx for the beer, man!).
Aroma: a bit meaty, oak, slightly inky, bold.
Taste: along the same lines, very boozy.
Overall: harsh and misses balance, very hot. Boozy mess.

Poured from 250mL can (bb Nov 26, 2034; thanks Sammy). Very dark brown with minimal tan head. Hot booziness, molasses, feint old woody barrels, hint of wood glue, unbalanced - too boozy, average base.

Can from tavour with an illegible date code, but fresh, drunk 11/7/25. As pictured.
Actual pumpkin and actual barrel with moderate spice. Good malt presence. Good vanilla softness and some light honey. Oddly feels like enough and not enough barrel. Maybe that's just because there's a bit more spice than needs be.
Soft, malty, juicy, sweet, drying out heavily with biscuity cracker and bread. Big spice, moderate whiskey, no alcohol, though. Read every review on here and I agree, it's both too sweet and too dry! Weird. I think at the end of the day, just a bit too much spice, as is the case with most "pumpkin" beers.
