Pint can thanks to @hershiser2. 9/22/20. Now that they've had a chance to chill a bit, I'm adopting the @hershiser2 approach of random ticking. Hazy orange, large frothy white head, good retention. Aroma of lemon, orange, pale malt. Taste is pineapple, mango, resin, pale malt. Medium bodied, juicy, mild bitterness.

Apparently pumpkin beers may arrive at CBBnext week until then enjoy this: Hardywood Park 11.5% Bourbon BA Gingerbread Stout Pitch dense black with a solid tan head of foam that lingers for ages and a softly spicy aroma. Very flavorful and full bodied with tons of dark chocolate and spicy gingerbread/mint elements. I’m not getting the bourbon but I’ll let it warm up a bit and see what happens. Great stuff.

Bottle from M&S Inverurie. It pours lightly hazy orangey - gold with a decent foamy white head. The aroma is bready, doughy malts, biscuit, cereal, underlying sweetness, rather grassy, herbal almost and some soft orchard fruits. The taste is initially dry and snappy, bitter - sweet character, grassy, herbal, hint of mint, peppery spice, cereal, underlying doughy bread sweetness and biscuit with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate foamy carbonation. Decent character to it. A solid drinking lager for sure.

Can from Tavour. Pours translucent gold with a foamy/creamy white head that quickly diminished. Spiced peach and or gingerbread aroma. Med body or so. Flavor is peach, with some clove and other spices. Still seems to have a ginger note. Think I get the lactose. Ok, but I might just prefer it without the spice.

Perfectly clear golden coloured body with a bit of a deeper, copper tint and a small-ish one centimetre tall, just off-white head that stays afloat for a while. Aroma of grass, light astringency, alcohol, cleanser and a touch of citrus, with grapefruit zest the strongest. Medium-bodied; Deep citrusey and resinous flavour at first shows a soft malt note, smooth sugars and a light cleanser-like and dry citrusey component that has a light grassiness at the end. Aftertaste shows the proper balance of citrusey and lightly grassy hops and a smooth, yet pungent malt backbone that leaves some nice soft sugars, a faint glimmer of alcohol and a bite of resin all noticeable, yet slightly muted and somehow easy-drinking. Overall, a nice and soft-ish beer that tastes much closer to seven per cent alcohol than eight, and while it isn't horribly citrusey, fruity or juicy, this still comes across as a 'new school' IPA versus anything dank, pungent or bitter. Nice to try from here in Virginia and while not my favourite, a good enough beer to grab if they have it when you are already out. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from the Department of Beer and Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 21-August-2020 for US$4,22 sampled at my house here in Washington on 31-August-2020, just ten days later.

Super dark brown coloured body with a very thin, only single centimetre tall rich tan had. Aroma of undeniable spice hit with allspice, anise, spruce, a dash of canella and some cloves, but the sugars are the strongest here with pitted fruits, chocolate, molasses and a lot of sweet candy sugar noticeable that really makes this rich in the nose. Full-bodied; Super rich malt body strikes first with a ton of roasted malt and a rich, almost syrupy bite from the sweetness that hits as maple syrup, molasses, deep milk chocolate and a great deal of pitted fruits, but the alcohol shines through next, then comes the super deep spice components that show the canella and allspice the strongest, but also some nutmeg and cloves towards the end - very nice throughout. Aftertaste is very rich of course with all the sugars hitting nearly at the same time and bringing out the syrupy and complex roasted and caramelised sugars out along with the pitted fruits like dates, figs and prunes. Overall, a very nice, super rich and elegant beer that shows nicely, especially at this time of the year! I look forward to drinking more of this, especially when I can keep it cellared for a few years and drink it at the right time. I sampled this 50 cL bottle purchased by one of my hockey teammates at Whole Foods in Arlington (Clarendon), Virginia, sampled on the roof of my hockey rink on 18-December-2019 - Thanks Alex!
