650 ml bottle. Pours a very dark red/brown with light head. Smoky, roasted malt and light espresso aromas. More porter than pumpkin/spice flavors but one can catch the later. Just my type of type of pumpkin beer. Nice.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a very dark brown / near black with a small brown head. Aroma is almost all chocolate, no pumpkin detection for me. Flavour is well-balanced between the cocoa and pumpkin, giving both about equal room to breathe. Light-bodied, but fairly full-flavoured. Decently enjoyable.

On tap. Pours a hazy yellow with little head. Aromas of light malts and fruit candy. Flavors of sweetened lemon juice and something like watermelon flavored candy. Other hard to place melon tastes. Interesting.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a clear amber with a small white head. Aroma is hoppy with caramel malts, and dry citrus hops - fairly standard for an amber. Flavour is well-balanced between dry caramel malts and dry citrus hops. Surprisingly flavourful for the style, though fairly standard. Decent stuff.

On tap. Pours a reddish brown with no head. Aromas of brown sugar pine/citrus of pacific northwest hops. Flavors are similar although more pronounced; toffee/brown sugar and lemons/oranges with roast malts. Good balance with these hops. Very nice.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma of tropical fruits, light citrus hops and soft bready malts. Flavour of pungent tropical fruits (berries and mango), slight hop bitterness and just enough malt to balance. Buttery soft mouthfeel. Quite good, surprisingly.

Draft - Smells like sweet watermelon. Cloudy hay color with a thin head. Refreshing and very sweet. Many fruit flavors pear and watermelon at the lead. No bitterness more like a cider than a beer.

Sampled on tap at the Alibi Room, pours cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma of watermelon (duh), and tons of sugar - more sugary than anything. Flavour of candied sugar, cotton candy and faint watermelon - more or less a monolithic sweetness, though the body is too light and thin to make it cloying. Weak, boring, uninspired.
