Post Road Pumpkin Ale

12oz bottle courtesy of markwise. Pours a dark clear amber color with a thick and frothy off-white head. Lively carbonation that sticks to the glass and provides lacing. Aroma is flower, pumpkin, spice, ginger, cinnamon, clove. Flavor is more spicy than pumpkiny with notes of banana, sweet malt and some strange flavors that are hard to decipher. Generally light body with a somewhat Pepto-Bismol peppermint finish. Aroma is probably better than the taste on this one.

(Bottle) Pours golden. The aroma is spicy with notes of cinnamon and nutmeg up front but there is also some subtle hints of ginger, cardamom, saffron, white pepper, and caraway. Also, light fruity with pumpkin and lemon. The flavour is spicy, light fruity and light citric with tones of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin and lemon. Light sweet, light tar and light dry. Light to medium bitter. The mouthfeel is soft and a bit tart. Light to medium bodied.

Light amber color, small white head. Herbal pumpkin aroma. Herbal cinnamon flavor. Cinnamon dominates aftertaste too, not much pumpkin in the flavor.

Pours golden yellow with a small, film head. Aroma is sweet, light coriander, some pepper and good deal of pumpkin. Light and thin mouthfeel. Flavour is perfume, pepper, pumpkin and lots of spices. Okay actually.

Transparent golden coloured, small airy white head. Very perfumey pumpkin aroma with herbal and spicy notes. A way too sweet. Like ekstedt said, not my cup of tee.

Bottled. Aroma colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is pumpkin pie along with some spicyness. Flavour is mainly pumpkin and grass along with some slight spicy/herbal notes.

clear orange, small head. pumpkin spice and ginger nose, but underwhelming taste.

Yay, my first pumpkin ale (lagers with pumpkin seeds don’t count). Poured a hazy orangey golden with a medium sized white head that went away fast. Perfumey pumpkin aroma, some maltiness. The taste is all pumpkin and spice again, somewhat light. Ok and drinkable.
