Serve in English pint

On tap at the brewpub. Dark brown, no head. Slightly sweet aroma, some hops. Taste was poor - sickly sweet over a too thin body for the style - this one was not off, just poorly brewered. Much preferred their Pumpkin on this occasion, which seemed to be based off this. Tough to finish the pint.

(Draught) Sampled at the brewpub in Peterborough, ON. Pours a foamy almond head with a lightly carbonated copper body. Nose of grapes and bitter hops. Mild nail polish, honey with acetone, roasted nuts, hoppin’ bitterness and a roasty finish.

Amber in colour. Aroma of fruit and faint hops. Flavour was sugary sweet, slight hops, slight fruits and mild bitterness. Finishes slightly sweet with a medium bitterness.
