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. Deep amber color with no head. Spicy aroma (lots of cinnamon) with some pumpkin. Flavor is spicy as well, with more pumpkin and some sweet malt. Finishes quite dry and spicy with a slight touch of hops. Medium-bodied. Not very good but quite enjoyable.

Bottle - Poured a orange-tinged amber color, lightly active with just a wisp of any head. The aroma hints at some nutmeg, but is fairly restrained. The flavor is more robust ... with aspects of the obvious (pumpkin filler, cinnamon, nutmeg) and a hint of doughy malt. Among the more even-keeled pumpkin ales I remember, not overpowering, yet fitting the expected vein. (#3096, 9/16/2007)

Great smelling with a lot of spice top notes. More prounounced hop flavor than Shipyard’s pumpkin and fuller mouthfeel than Jack’s Pumpkin Spice. Good head that lasted throughout session.

Burnt orange with good, creamy white head / Honied pumpkin nose / Medium body with balanced malts and hops, a little sweetness, and a fair finish / Simple flavors of muted pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg / Enjoyable but would benefit from a more diverse fruit palate.

Something interesting finally from Brooklyn. And holy crap the 6er cost me the same as one of their brews at the Newark Airport jazz bar thingy. medium shade of gold in the glass with nice small lacing leftover from the head. Nose is of spices and that is also the dominant part of the taste. Pumpkin pie spice is all that you taste. overpowers the rest of the thinner body. A nice seasonal.

12 oz bottle. A decent pumpkin beer. I really can’t drink a whole bottle though, the whole vegetable raw-pumpkin thing starts to bother me.

12oz bottle. Pours dark amber with a pretty nice creamy white head. Aroma is peppery, spicy, pumpkin. More peppery and spicy than other pumpkin beers. Very weak, watery, bland, kinda peppery taste. Tastes like every other pumpkin beer.
