Draft at Old Chicago Lakewood Union. Strange that this works so well, aroma is straight up candy corn. Nice medium amber body with soft creamy head. Taste tails off a bit, but all if the qualities of a good cream are there. Novelty beer for fall, but nice.

Very strong pumpkin pie aroma, but mild (thankfully) flavor. No sign of alcohol. Fairly easy drinking for a pumpkin brew.

Pours the colour of apricot skins, there’s plenty v foam that shrinks slowly.
As authentic an apricot smell as I’ve ever encountered. It’s a balanced smell of sweet and sour without suggesting that sour will dominate.
Sweetish apricots with an additional sweet note or 2 from the malt of the base Blonde Ale. I have to admit; the smell is outstanding, leaving the the taste placing 2nd in a 2 horse race.
Medium body with medium carbonation.
If only the flavours lived up to what those delightful aromas suggested. Still, it’s a lovely drop.

Bottle at the RBSG Lobby Share. Pours a very dark brown with small beige head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is roasted malt, wood, bourbon. Thick, chewy, bourbon, roast, vanilla, wood, very nice.

Dating on the bottom of the can hard to read.
It pours a hazy orange with a 1 finger head of foam that quickly shrinks to a ring around the glass.
I smell loads of apricots that impart a suggested tartness. Nothing bitter here to my nose.
Apricot tartness up front, mid palate, and through the finish. The lacto is on full throttle goodness here.
