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.

RBESG08 grand tasting.
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.

RSBEG08 grand tasting. Clear orange golden with medium white head. Overwhelming pumpkin aroma with some malt in the background. Slightly sweet. Not my cup of tee.

[355ml bottle from Tesco’s Reading] Reduced to 60p without even being anywhere need the best before date! It’s a mid brown with a slight carbonation that leaves a pleasant tingle on the tongue. For an American ale it’s surprisingly sweet, although this is well balanced with bitter hops lurking in the background. There’s a definite hint of spices here (cinnamon?) but for some reason it reminded me more of Morroccan food than of pumpkin pie! Overall I felt that this ale was a bit too light to suit the style - a deeper, richer, smokier flavour is needed to match the season it’s aimed at. All the same, not a bad beer - especially at such a bargain price!
