Bottle - Pumpkin is upfront with spices and pale malts. Clear effervescent gold with a thin white head. Lots of pumpkin and a simple clean finish. Very light and refreshing, but after a few sips the pumpkin on it’s own is just a bit much. Nice idea, good execution, but not to my taste.

Bottle - Pumpkin, spices and roasted malts. Jet black with a thin brown head. Roasted malts, some light chocolate and a bit of spice. The pumpkin doesn’t really shine here.

Gold,lasting white head.Light salty/spicy nose.Crisp palate,light malt in back. Pleasant spicy hop finish. This brewery makes some very questionable offerings, but this is one of their better beers.

Bottle - Bubblegum, cherry, raisin and dark sugar. Clear amber with a thin brown head. Dark sugars, cherry, marzipan and raisin. Nice and typical, but for a local I have to give props.

650 ml bottle. Pours a clear gold with light head. Aroma of cereal and corn - not very impressive. Flavors of cereal, toasted rice, and resin. Light bitter finish. Interesting taste - goes great with potato chips.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a cloudy opaque dirty amber orange with a small beige head. Aroma brings out spicy autumn notes, almost like a pumpkin beer. Flavour brings out biscuity malts, floral hops, and some spicy notes. Fairly dry and bland - not the most interesting beer. Alright.

On nitro tap at the Alibi Room, pours a hazy dark copper amber with a small off-white head. Aroma is subtle, with weak English hop and English malts, and a little bready malts. Flavour brings out bready, English malts, and slight hops. Very soft on the palate from the nitro pour. Just not the most exciting beer, as is no surprise from the ESB style. Decent.
