473 mL can from the LCBO; no date. Served slightly chilled.
Pours a muddy brownish-amber, with an inch of creamy, foamy, light tan-coloured head situated atop. It lingers for five minutes or so, eventually eroding down to a creamy collar and filmy cap, with a narrow band of lace also deposited - looks alright. The aroma is unabashedly sweet, with bubble gum, brown sugar, caramel apple and lactose coming through, in addition to spicier notes of gingerbread, nutmeg and cinnamon. Ethanol fumes are also discernible.
It's not unpalatable, but this spiced beer starts to become 'a bit much' exceedingly quickly. The malt backbone is bready and biscuity, with plenty of pumpkin pie and brown sugar sweetness; I'm also getting vanilla and gingerbread, with hints of allspice, clove and cinnamon not far behind. The back end is boozy-sweet and quite spicy, with lactose, ethanol, cinnamon and nutmeg accentuating a pumpkin pie-like aftertaste. Medium-full in body, with moderate carbonation that adds some bite to this brew's smooth, fulfilling mouthfeel. Limited drinkability - split it with a friend.
Final Grade: 3.44, a B-. Sweet Tooth Pumpkin Spice Latte is a bold beer in some ways, but it also comes off as sloppily put together - it's too sweet, it's overly spiced, it's kind of boozy - and while there is some depth to the flavour profile, it just doesn't come together all that well IMO. I'm also naturally disappointed that a beer with 'latte' in its name had essentially no coffee flavour whatsoever. I don't think I'd buy this again, but if you're a strong pumpkin beer lover then I suppose it's still worth a shot.

Look: Bright copper semi transparent. TIghtly bubbled finger of off white head disappears quickly leaving nothing but a ring of bubbles around the glasses outer rim after 5 minutes.
Smell: Pumpkin and candied sugars. Plenty of cinnamon, and enough fall poi pouri smell to take you back to your Grandma's kitchen at Thanksgiving.
Taste: Pumpkin dominant not surprisingly. It's got a doughy and grassy quality as well. CInnamon makes an appearance, as does a heavy dose of nutmeg.
Feel: Medium bodied, plays mostly on the palate and front and middle of the tongue. It has a overly sweet sticky after taste on the back end that turned me off.
Probably the most spicy and sweetest of the Pumpkin beers on offer at the LCBO this season. It left me meh, very artificial tasting, and over spiced. It was missing a creamy quality I would expect with a latte. This beer earns a B-

Pours an orange-caramel colour, headless. Artificial pumpkin and cinnamon on the smell. I get a bit of pumpkin, typical spices and such, but nothing to make me think of a latte. Thank God for that. Not the best pumpkin beer on the market, and I consider myself an expert on the topic

473 ml can served cold into a pint glass. Canned September 9, 2022. Did not realize this was 8.1% ABV.
Appearance - Orange / amber brew with autumn colored highlights. Small thin half finger of white head is poured and fizzles out reasonably quick.
Smell - Pumpkin for sure, some sweet accents, brown sugar and cinnamon with traces of nutmeg too.
Taste - Kind of like the nose. Pumpkin, some other fall flavors and the cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar combo. Sweet, but not overbearing. Alcohol well disguised too.
Mouthfeel - Smooth, medium bodied and modest;y carbonated. Easy to drink.
Overall - Really nice pumpkin beer that strikes the right spot between earthy pumpkin, sweet and saccharine pastry style beer and just enough amount of the spices to make this an excellent pumpkin brew,
