Commercial Description:
Bottle; Filtered.
Post Road Pumpkin Ale is a revival of a beer brewed by the early American colonists. Pumpkins were plentiful, flavorful and nutritious and they blended nicely with barley malt. Hundreds of pumpkins are blended into each batch of Post Road Pumpkin Ale, creating a beer with an orange amber color, warm pumpkin aroma, biscuity malt center and crisp finish. Post Road Pumpkin Ale is spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg.

Clear dark orange with big fluffy off-white head that thins quickly. Aroma is a pleasant strong pumpkin cinnamon nutmeg. Taste is a light but spicy, dry, nutmeg pumpkin.A bit disappointing after the aroma but very refreshing and easy to drink.

I tried this beer on November 19, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a translucent orange-red with a very thin very short-lived white head. The aroma is malty with pumpkin and spicy notes (cloves and nutmeg). The mouthfeel was medium bodied with above average carbonation. The flavour was primarily malty with some definite spiciness and a hop-laden finish. Better than the Great Lakes Pumpkin ale in my opinion.

This ale poured a nice dark orange colour with a quickly disipating bright white head. To the nose there are scents of pumpkin, allspice, cinnamon and dough. First taste was crisp with a watery finish. Flavours of pumkin and spices mostly, with a slight flavour of cinnamon towards the end. Finish is slightly sweet and tangy with a little hopp bitterness lingering.

Pours a bright pumpkin colored orange with a very think white head. Very light hints of pumpkin and spice on the nose, and a bit of malt. Flavor is subdued and not the least bit pumkiny. Finish also lacks much pumpkin (and with a weird bitter metallic note) ... If I hadn’t read ’pumpkin ale’ on the bottle, I honestly would have thought it was just a rather dull red lager. Very disappointing.

Pour is a copper with a large white head. Aroma is a decent amount of cinnamon and nutmeg. Flavor is a whole lot weaker. Low in spice and low in pumpkin. The ending is very watery and weak. Compared to Schlafly pumpkin this is not even in the same ball park.

Not an overly good brew. The pumpkin flavor is there, but not clear and describable.

A bit of spice and vegetable, but mostly tastes like ordinary beer! Dry, earthy aftertaste and a great, full body, but generally underwhelming. Some metallic notes in the finish as well.

Bottle. Poured a medium copper color with minimal white head. Aroma was full of pumpkin and spice. The flavor seemed to be dominated by bitter hops. Very little spice in the flavor. Big carbonation. Not one I’d try again.
