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.

Quickly descending head and a orangish body. Strong pumpkin and spicy aroma. Tastes like pumpkin and a lot of spice (other raters do a better job than me in figuring out which ones). Barely any hops. A bit of an aftertaste. Overall it ain’t too bad.

Has hints of pumpkin spice in it. A little bit of a bite in the aftertaste, but not at all overpowering. I was expecting a little more pumpkin flavor in it like in Shipyard’s or Sea Dog’s pumpkin ales, but it still is a good beer. I would recommend this one for all of you to try for yourself. I think you’ll like it.

Post Road Pumpkin Ale is an orange amber color with a creamy but quickly disappearing off-white head. The aroma is of light malt with strong notes of pumpkin. Cinnamon and nutmeg traces are also evident.

On tap @ Effin’ Gruven, the bartender suggested sugar on the glass, I declined but probably should have taken his advice, he knows what he is doing, but hey I wanted to taste the beer not sugar. Right away a spiciness mainly cinnamon hit the nose, smelled like a great fall seasonal. A bit disappointed in the body and taste, it was extremely thin and bitter spicy. I did enjoy it but not as much as I was hoping for, try it with sugar next time...

This beer did not leave a huge impression on me as far as pumpkin beers go. There was a nice spiciness to it, but that was the most memorable aspect. Nothing crazy and I’ve had better pumpkin beers than this one.

12 ounce bottle. Pours orange with a white head. Good pumpkin aroma. The taste is kind of thin with barely any pumpkin or spices that I could discern. I like my pumpkin beers spicy and bold this is is much too timid for my liking. would not buy again

Pours a deep copper orange with a thin white head. Aroma is very strong pumpkin flavor with just hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. Much more emphasis on the pumpkin. Taste is medium bodied and malty with just a hint of pumpkin and spices. Not a cloying malt bomb and tasty spices that are not over the top make this a good pumpkin beer.
