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. Sweet and vegetal aroma. Wow, a pumpkin beer with pumpkin flavors, fancy that. Might be a first. Also cloves/coriander and either nutmeg or allspice. Orange-amber pour with a foamy beige head. Taste is moderately dry, balanced by a light bittersweetness. Pumpkin flavor at the fore, spicy body, but a good blend of components into something new. Light body seems thicker than it is because of all the smoothness. Dry and pleasantly malty aftertaste. Really one of the more laid-back and enjoyable pumpkin beers I’ve had - very drinkable.

Bottle, courtesy of John White. Orange-amber, moderate lasting white head and moderate condition. Initial dominant aromas of American hops is soon muted by spices and a caramel maltiness, sweet malt and spicy cinnamon in the mouth but overall quite thin, gently dry finish with a touch of cinnamon and ginger.

Orange colour. Herbal aroma. Nice smooth flavour with some pumpkin, spices, some vegies, good hoppiness. A pretty tasty brew!

Hmmm. maybe I’m just used to the over-spiced varieties of pumpkin ales I’ve had this year, but this one was rather bland in comparison. Probably a better beer overall, but I can’t really think of anything remarkable about it. Nice, smooth and pumpkiny. I’d drink it again.

My first pumpkin ale. Disapointing in about everyway appart from appearance but then i was hoping a bit much perhaps. Aroma is minimal, pumpkin buttern squash, light cinimmin spice. Taste is quite as bland and minimal, i really like brooklyn so not my fav from them.

Delicious and pumpkiny, this is the first of its type I ever tried, so I am immune to its flaws and drawn in by its spicy seasonal charms.

This was my first pumpkin ale. It had a unike flavor and a thick body. The hops blend well with the pumpkin flavor and spices.

Bottle: "typical" pumpkin ale, subtle pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon spice flavors. Tastey session beer.
