Post Road Pumpkin Ale

Brewed by Brooklyn Brewery
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
Brooklyn, New York USA

Pours a crystal clear amber with a small head. Aroma of pumpkin pulp & light corn. Tastes of pulpy pumpkin, hops, very faint spicing, nothing particularly remarkable. Thin body with ok carbonation. I think the hops stand out in this particular pumpkin ale, but otherwise not too remarkable. Thanks to G for the taste!

I enjoyed this. Nice size head off the pour. Gave off a really nice pumpkin pie aroma. Dark amber color. Had a similar pumpkin pie flavor. The pumpkin wasn’t overwhelming and there were nice hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and clove. bottle

Bottle, from Fin. Thanks mate!
Warm copper, small white head. Spice-forward aroma: cloves, cinnamon, ginger. Not sure if I smell pumpkin, but pumpkin pie spices for sure. Light caramel sweetness and a touch of biscuit. Bright carbonation, lingering clove. Nice substantial mouthfeel. Rather good.

Amber pour with a significant, white, fizzy head that dissipates into a relatively large ring; lots of lacing down the glass. Aroma of orange, bread, pumpkin and spices (allspice and maybe cloves and nutmeg). Flavor is quite bready and spicy; surprisingly bitter. Full, frothy, non-sticky body. Really, so much better than the Saranac pumpkin beer I just had; almost a pumkin IPA; I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin beers, but this is easily one of the better ones.

Bottle, thanks to cgarvieuk. Pours a orangey brown with a thin off-white head. Nose is pumpkiny, sour and meaty, some substance there, not too flimsy, handful of spices, cloves and cinnamon, quite a warm hoppy tone too. Mouth is quite grating, bit sour, but also warm and sweet, plenty of cinnamon, nutmeg, some earthy tumeric and sugar, but a bit of a sourness still creeps through from something that could have been entirely pleasant. Leaves some warm sweet and sour tones. Alright, very different, like the spices, but not huge on the pumpkin.

Have you ever burned squash, and then tried to cover it up with cinnamon and sugar...? The truth is that I actually like this beer. It has heart and youth to it; it has liveliness. For the price, it’s memorable and approachable.

Pours a fully clouded orange brown. No head in my Duvel tulip. Nose is very mild pumpkin pie with spices. Flavor is actually pretty decent. So many of these pumpkin ales are disasters. This one comes off fairly well. Nice balance of spices that don’t under-do it and don’t overdo it. Feel has a good carbonation to it and the liquid is decent as well. Overall a pretty good pumpkin ale here. Can’t say I would go for it again as I just don’t really care for this style, but you might as well give it a shot at least once.
