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.

Nice looking beer with its orange-tinged amber body. Aroma is fairly weak, but of pumpkin pie spices (nutmeg, cinnamon). Body is over-carbonated, IMO, affecting the taste. Pumpkin and spices are buried, and a fair amount of hops makes this dry. That’s okay, but it’s just not rich enough.

Bottle. Clear amber colour, quite lively with a nice just off-white head. Spicey, fruity and malty aroma. Fruity, spicey and pumpkiny taste, crisp, quite highly carbonated. Quite good.

(on bottle) Way back this was a real ground breaker for me, and since no danish brewery has tried to make a pumpkin beer, this is still a good friend to have by ultimo october. Amber color, small, white head. Sweet caramel and, yeah must be pumpkin then, in the aroma. Gets more spicy nad fruity in the taste, levels out and has a rather vague finish.

compliments of some friends who wish to remain anomyness because they dont want people knowing they are my friends. that being said. this was a good beer. Even though the pumpkin is actually a fruit and not a vegetable I must say this fruit beer is not one of my faves. It seems an oddity in it’s own. I don’t hate it, I just can’t get used to it. but there should be a rate beer debate. Pumpkin is botanically classified as a fruit. And this my friends is a fruit beer.

Bottle. Nice golden amber body with thin head. aroma has a nice spices and pumpkin scent, sweet malt. Flavor is dominated with spices, light hop flavor and a sweet malty backbone, cinnammon. Finishes dry. Surprisingly drinkable.

Pour is a clear orange with a big white head.Aroma of spice and pumpkin. Weak cinimon, pumpkin and caramel in the flavor. Pretty weak body and undewhelming.

Thanks to miketd for this bonused beer from my want list-
Light clear orange pour with a large offwhite head. Mild pumpkin spice smell, perhaps a bit less so than average. Body is watery, thin and flavorwise is probably the blandest pumpkin beer I’ve had. Very low carbonation as well adds to the lifelessness of it. Not offensively flavored at all, just a poor pumpkin beer, I thought.

Poured amber with a small white head.Some pumkin and spice on the nose .The flavor was very light and seemed to fizzle out at the end leaving the finish watery.
