What else members are drinking

Sweet coffee, not syrupy, a decent amount of pumpkin spice, but also a very vegetal component that might be the coffee bean, or maybe the pumpkin. Nice to taste real flavors though.
Draft
A nice Oktoberfest, sweet, a bit metallic, but there’s a juicy hop sheen that is a little off for me.
Draft
Both a dry lager and a mildly sweet pumpkin ale, cola-like, lightly spiced. Very drinkable.
Can
Indeterminate sour flavor, mellowed with buttery funk. But really nice.
Can
Sweet but drying, cloudy, cereal, brackish finish. This isn’t toasty, and the color is light to match - a wiesn maybe?
Draft
Quite nice - comes across more in the Kolsch camp than IPA. It's fragrant but not overly fruity; there's a lager-like turn to the flavor that finishes slightly uric. I liked it.
Draft
Very delicious. Not too sweet, just a hint of maple, a nut-butter overtone. You can definitely feel the strength over time but it's balanced, not over-the-top.
Bottle
Blueberry-forward, slight butter-bitter funk. Evocative of pie.
Bottle
Mellow sweet grapefruit, slightly herbal finish.
Draft
Definitely a Bavarian flavor profile, but decidedly less sweet (watery?) than expected.
Draft
Vinous, ultra-dry, apple-grape, butter-bitter finish. Just exactly the right amount of funk. Gorgeous beer.
Draft
Like an extra strong version of the Icicle Helles I had earlier today but with a touch more banana. Finishes dry, bitter, tacky.
Bottle
Grassy, lightly sweet, somewhat buttery/tacky/metallic, it's been a while but I wouldn't be surprised if this was fairly similar to the Hofbräu Original Lager.
Draft
I admire that Urban Family is always around to do offbeat sours. This is characterisitically tart but otherwise light and festive. Not sure if there's anything specifically pumpkiny about this but the pie spice is light but present.
Can
Bracing; clean; fragrant. Piney without any other over-the-top qualities. This was great!
Can
There’s something really off-putting about the fragrance of this beer, it’s like vegetal and herbal and sour and bitter like a sanitary puck. Flavor-wise it’s … fine? Pine-lemon, acrid bitterness. But I can’t not smell it.
Draft
Banana, slightly smoky, sweet finish. Nice example of the style.
Draft
Lemon-pine, thin up front like a soda. Finishes more Pilsner-like, brackish, grassy.
Draft
Extremely sweet if not syrupy, but ironically, tastes like syrup. Bit of burnt sugar, caramel. The syrup character is so accurate that it feels tackled on, surely these didn’t ferment with the beer?
