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 as shown. Pours a clear copper with a medium frothy off white head that leaves good spotty lacing along the glass. The aroma is a strong cinnamon, nutmeg and pumpkin. Thin mouthfeel and a bit watery on the palate. The taste is a spicy pumpkin flavor with wheat and nutmeg. Not too much going on with this one.

Bottle from bu11zeye. Nutmeg, malts, lots of ginger and a little pumpkin. Taste doesn’t match up. Somehow after having a piss poor, vegetation flavor, it finishes with more ginger.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized off-white colored bubbles that were long lasting and left behind a typically carbonated light brown colored body and an excellent lacing. The mild aroma was dirty sock and pumpkin. The mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and at the finish. The strange flavor contained notes of nutmeg and pumpkin. Not one that I would buy again.

Bottle.
Pours a beautiful, lively pumpkin pie amber with a weak aroma of hay, malted oat, unripened pumpkin, and a touch of honey. Flavor is a mishmashed mess of pumpkin water spilled into a batch of light beer. Weak hay, feeble pumpkin, soured and stale malted grain and a lemon-esque finish. Watery and spritzer-like mouthfeel. Quite possibly the worst pumpkin ale I’ve tasted.

Bottle courtesy of bu11zeye. Clear red pour. Lots of spice and ginger. Taste is lots of spice. Some dryness but has a sweet spice flavor. Not bad but has some weakness on the finish.

Pours a lasting ring of off-white head with an amber-orange, clear body. Aromas of pumpkin and spices. Flavors of biscuit, pumpkin, little clove. Spices on the palate. Little thin and watery.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with minimal tan head over an orange body. Aroma of pumpkin, dryness, cardboard, vegital, straw and cinnamon. Taste is thin, vegital and acrid. Thin, fizzy and dry, drainpour. I normally like pumpkin beers but this one was really bad.

Bottle. A nice red-orange color, very clear, with an expansive light tan head. Definite pumpkin spice presence in the aroma, with a moderate amount of the pumpkin itself coming through. Flavor is somewhat uninspired, as a whole. Small malt presence is accompanied only by a light bitterness and a little bit of the pie spice. Fairly smooth palate. Not bad, but just not particularly interesting.
