Post Road Pumpkin Ale

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.
