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.

The aroma is dominated by pumpkin. The color is amber and it has a fine though disappearing head. The flavor is also dominated by pumpkin and cloves. It has a rather dry end.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a beautiful, clear, dark amber with a small, off-white head. Spicy aroma. Rather light body with a vague, underlying caramelish sweetness. Dominated by some rather exotic flavour impressions, I reckon it’s the pumpkins - a vegetable I have absolutely no experience with. But also a rather refined spicing is prominent - it actually reminds me of Christmas: cardamom, cinnamon and ginger. Dry rather than hoppy finish. Unusual. 060306

Bottle. Aroma has a hint of spice, perhaps cinnamon. Greyish copper colour. Looks flat. Sourish bitterness. Not interesting.

Copper-amber color; poor head. Very strange, but nice, perfumy aroma, fruits (oranges, apricots), rhum, spices… Dry mouthfeel, ordinary. Finishes with a mild caramel/bitterness. Good try for the aroma, but the rest...
A big thank to Jens (Ungstrup), Jacob (Lövenlund) and Rasmus (Nørrebro Bryghus) for all the effort!
