Bottle. Honey and barley aroma initially that changes into a sour milk smell as it warms.. Clear reddish brown color with small head. Light sour malt flavor with a metallic bitter finish. Luckily I traded for this and didn’t have to buy a sixer.

Pours brown with no head. Armoa of malty beer with some hints of pumpkin. Flavor is full of light spices and pumpkin paste... not a tasty pumpkin brew by any means.

Pours dark, with a coffee like aroma. A little sweet and bitter flavor. Not bad at all.

Bottle. Golden... surprise. No head. Smells like musty water. Flavor is musty water and some funky metallic maltiness. Blah.

Not too bad overall, liked this one from Saranac. Nothing overly special, and it tastes a lot like other Belgian White beers.
