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.

Dark golden to light amber color. Taller, big bubbled light beige bubbles. LIghtly spicy aromas with cinnamon, clove, ginger and mace. Reminds me more of unbaked pie filling than the fresh out of the oven counterpart. Not much sweetness detected. LIght malty start. Starts like a heavier lager. Middle has some sharp spices that carry on to the finish and linger. Ginger type bite along with sharp cinnamon. Later in the linger some vegetable flavors come out. If this had a bit more malt depth I appreciate it a touch more. A spicy light ale.

Powerful aroma of cinnamon, malts, and nutmeg. Amber in color with a nice head. Taste is a powerful combination of spices and malts.

12oz bottle. Aroma is mild and of spicy nutmeg and pumpkin pie. Medium orange amber hue. Average sized head that fully diminished and left little lace. Flavor is spicy malt and slightly astringent. Med-light bodied. OK for a pumpkin but no seconds please .

I’m not usually into fruity (or vegetably) beers, but the level of pumpkin in this one was just right. A very nice, clean, and slightly pumpkiny aroma. It ran a little thin on flavor and a was fairly unremarkable. Drinkable, but not very. I wasn’t aching for a second. The level of pumpkin was good, though, not overpowering.

darkish orange/brown appearance with a decent white head. nose is just of subtle pumpkins, not prominnent. flavor is somewhat tangy with some malt characteristics but very little pumpkin and no noticeable hop component. unique tasting but not in a positive way. not a good beer, slightly better than buffalo bill’s as far as pumpkin brews go.

The aroma and taste did not wuite make sense. At first was more bitter than expected, alcohol content noticeable, but is growing on me and I taste the nutmeg aftertaste rather than the bitterness.

Picked up a 6-er at Publix to kick off the first October day of the year. Pours a light amber with a small rim of tan head. Frothy lacing. The aroma is airey with subtle notes of cinnamon and a pulpy squash that could be pumpkin. On flavor, the pumpkin is slightly more pronounced and conjoined with herbal spices typical of the season. Nutmeg and allspice come to mind. A confusingly thin body and medium/full carbonation are slightly off-balanced. Although refreshing, this brew could’ve benefited from more hops character in the body. All in all, drinkable.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a clean, clear amber. Smallish white head. Aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg. Mouthfeel much the same. The pumpkin spices are quite nice. Good October brew.
