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.

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.

bottle. small off white fizzy head into clear semi-sparkling light amber body. aromas of light spices and pumpkin mostly, also noticed some aceticness which does take away from this pumpkin. I actually could have used a bit more pumpkin aromas, as this was a bit too watery.

Pours a clear light brownish orange. Has light taste of pumpkin. Very watery on the palate. Hints of floral, spice. Alcohol is not masked very well. Finished thin and spicy.

12 Oz Bottle. Planty, potpourri nose of mingled mulling spice, heavy on the nutmeg. Nice, but too much old lady house involved. Pours a clear bell pepper orange, white lacy frill above. Flavors comes forth with a dry, slightly thin, candied pumpkin with de rigeur pumpkin spice in boot. A flesh feel, with some musky starch notes. Good malt interface and a robust chunk of hops in the background, gummed with lemon juice. Really, this isn’t terrible, it has the signature, predictable spice and light calabaza flesh tones and the Noble hop bite. Not sticky, not overdone.

The best thing about this ale is the pumpkin flavour. It also looks and smells good. It’s a bit too bitter though and tastes like alcohol and water though it only has a 5 % ABV.

Very common pumpy but... not very good. Despite this failure, I will continue to drink new beers in order to proliferate chaos in my mouth.
