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.

Bottle. Golden copper color. Little head. Malty nose with the pumpkin clearly recognizable. Tastes like a fairly straight-forward pale ale with pumpkin flavor added. It’s smooth and crisp, but not overly interesting or one I’ll rush to drink again.

Bottle, 355ml. An amber colour with a small head. Aroma is rock, ginger, spices and a little hoppiness. Taste is quite sweet with more rock and ginger with malt, caramel and a hint of pumpkin. Quite an interesting brew.

Smells very strongly of spices. I can’t place the particular one, but its overwhelming. Pours a clear dark copper/red. Taste is a pungent mix of various spices that combines to give something resembling pumpkin pie. Overall not very pleasant.

Post Road Pumpkin Ale is a hazy reddish-brown ale with a fading white head. It has a spicy aroma that suggests wood, malt, maybe cinnamon and nutmeg. It’s pretty smooth and a little watery. It’s a light-bodied ale that’s clean on the palate. There is no pumpkin detected in the aroma. There are notes of cinnamon, cassia, coriander and maybe nutmeg. Pale malt is prominent in the flavor. It’s a bit bitter, but politely so. It has a nice spice profile and a wooden aftertaste. It’s very pleasing. I’m glad I got a 6-pack. This is usually the case with Brooklyn.

Amber in color. A little white head. Some spices in the nose. I can taste the pumpkin, but I’m not sure I like it. Interesting nonetheless.

[bottle] Spicy, earthy aroma with some nutmeg and cinnamon. Clear, dark amber color with some minimal lacing. Flavors are malty, with the standard pumpkin pie spices dominating. Spicy finish, with some hop character and slight residual sweetness. Medium bodied.

A decent pumpkin ale. I had this one about 2 years ago, I can’t recall all the specifics, but I will say it was one of the better ones.
