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.

Bottle. Clear orange with a small head. Aroma of pie spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.) Taste was pretty much the same, couldn’t taste a whole lot of pumpkin. But the spices didn’t dominate the malt. So it’s an O.K. October beer.

Bottle. Pretty dry and spicy aroma with notes of some round orange squash. Flavor was similar but actually rather bitter due to the spicing and the dry finish. Would have liked a more ale-like body with these flavors.

The only real flavor was from the pumpkin and spice mix which, while not unpleasant, wasn’t enough to make this beer worth it. Otherwise it was a watery failure of a beer with some flavor added. It did have a bubbly copper appearance that made you want to drink it and the aroma was pleasing, but the taste just didn’t live up to these features. At least it was drinkable.

Tulip glass. Pours a clear brown/orange amber with a small quickly disappearing head. Cinnamon and nutmeg spice aroma with a sweet malt backbone. Taste is similar. Dry and bitter finish. Body is too thin.

Pours a clear orange, with a medium white head. Smells of big pumpkin spice, with maybe some light malt in there too. The flavor leaned heavily on the pumpkin side, needed more cinnamon spice in my opinion. I liked my pumpkin beers balanced between the two flavors. This was a decent effort, but definitely was a little too much pumpkin for me. Probably wouldnt try again.

in bottle. an amber color with a pumpkin aroma. A very consistent beer, in that it looks, smells, and tastes like pumpkin pie. Body may be a bit light to carry the flavor. End has both hop and spice notes, with a concluding bitterness.

Aroma of nutmeg and cinnamon. Clear amber color with a small white head. Light bodied with a spicy taste. A little watery.

In the bottle from Inari Wines. Wow! This has a real pumpkin pie aroma- lots of cinnamon and nutmeg. Amber in color. Good ginger and clove flavors. The bitterness is nice at the ending. This beer has all the pumpkin spices, but really none of the body of pumpkin. Does this mean that they did not really use pumpkin at all in it, but took the shortcut of just spicing it up? Perhaps there are some pumpkin starches that made it into each batch, but clearly not enough.
