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.

Put straight up against St. Ambroise Citrouille Pumpkin Ale.
Big white foamy cap that has some staying power and a bit of ropy lacing on top of a deep orange brew. The aroma is off but ok. Heavy on pumpkin with a ton of allspice followed at a distance by cloves, almost comes across as freshly shaken dry spices in a bag (huff in the cloud!). A bit of earth as well to go with an obvious vegetable presence. The taste is also very spiced.. very spiced indeed as it goes way beyond the pumpkin taste. In fact.... WHERE IS THE PUMPKIN??? I don’t necessarily need a mouth full of pumpkin pie but some would be nice. The spice has a sour tart effect backed by a biscuit base. This dirty taste is bothering me. Long after taste. Winner - St. Ambroise hands down.

Pours clear burnt orange with a slight red tint and a small white head that fades quickly to a ring. Aroma of nutmeg, cinnemon, plants, and toffee. Tastes pretty basic with flavors of toffee, nutmeg, cinnemon, earthy hops, and toast. Finishes pretty dry with lingering spice sensations, nutmeg, toast, and earthy hop char. Light bodied prickly carbonation and empty body. Not really much here, seems watered down and certainly lesser than Punkin.

Pours a clear amber with fair near white head. Nose is lightly typical pumpkin spices and about the same in the flavor, with just a hint of citrus tang on the finish. About average I guess.

Tap at Winslow’s (Greenville). Nice autum color with nice sent of you typical spices you get in a pumpkin beer. Taste is much the same. Pretty average for the style, but good none the less.

Pumpkin bear is seemingly offered by everyone these days. Few can do it great and this is no exception. Best part of post road is the light and rich orange color. The smell of pumpkin pie spice and slight gourd odor is nice but not strong enough. Body is fairly thin. Decent example of the style but there is better to be had.

As promised, spicy pumkiny aroma. Pours clear copper, thin head. Farily bland - flat with some spice. Thin palate. Not great.

Dark amber. Minimal head. Big squash and spice scent. Flavour is amber beer and spice. Hard to quantify the squash. Tasty and passable pumpkin beer.

Bottle. Pours an orange-gold with a gold-tinted head. Very spicy aroma, nutmeg and cinnamon with sweet caramel. The palate delivers the same flavours: spicy caramel, lots of nutmeg, slightly perfumey.
