Prohibition Harvest Ale (Pumpkin Spice) - 5.50

Mood: wanted something fall-like

Where to Buy: BC liquor

Price: 5.50

Beer Type: Ale

Ingredients:

Country: Canada (Kelowna)

%: 5.5

ml: 650ml

Appearance: a darker ale look, looks like a pumpkin!

Smell: like cheap beer from undergrad (keggers)

Taste: not really sure, tastes like normal beer, but much more bitter, and I dont taste pumpkin or spice, unless that's the bitter taste....

Mouthfeel: 

Finished: bitter but wait... there it is!  I taste some pumpkin and some spice! score!

Overall: Not a fan.  It tastes cheap.  I know that wasn't the effect that it was going for, but seriously. Its super bitter in the mouth (not IPA hops bitter, just bitter beer bitter) and there is no pumpkin or spice to be had except for the lingering aftertaste.  Boo.

White IPA - Electric Unicorn - ???

Mood: saw the label and needed this bottle. Eff the beer inside, the bottle is mine!!!

Where to Buy: BC liquor (Tofino?)

Price: ???

Beer Type: Belgium IPA

Ingredients: malted barley, hops, water, yeast, natural blackberry flavour

Country: Canada (BC)

%: 6.5%

ml: 650ml

Appearance: a white IPA look

Smell: a light IPA smell

Taste: like Ricards white. But less bubbly and hoppy. A nice white IPA if need be. 

Mouthfeel: crisp, clean, orange rind.

Finished: not as bitter as other IPA's I've had. 

Overall: I'm not a huge fan of IPA's at all, but considering it's still a hefty alcohol content I expected the taste to be more overwhelming.  I'm glad it wasn't. A light beer I would be happy buying again, but only in bottle form so I can keep all the bottles....
