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.

Why did I buy this? I don’t even like pumpkin. It is a well made beer, though. It has a nice, spicy aroma. The flavor was complex, even though I knew what I was getting. The spices were a plus.

Poured a orange-amber color with a thin off-white head. Aroma od cinnamon, ginger, and toasty malt. Malty and semi-sweet with cinnamon flavors and a dry finish.

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

Pours a copper/orange color. Has pumpkin and spice flavors present of course, but it also has somewhat of a drying citric hop bitterness in the finish as well. More "beery" than I expected, the pumpkin doesn’t dominate the brew. Decent.

Good orange color and nice head but after that nothing special ... sort of the Sam Adams of pumpkin ales. Not much malt, not much hoppiness, not much pumpkin taste,and I did not notice much spice until the very end. Even there, the spice was more of a sweetness than a pronounced nutmeg or other pumpkin pie taste.

I love fall beer. Medium dark brown rusty colored body. Nose of semi-sweet, pulpy pumpkin, with light hints of cinnamon and apples. Wet and slippery up front, then a little brash, then generally unsweet lightly pasty across the back. Flavor is best described as pumpkin-infused cardboard, since the pumpkin characteristics, while easily noticed, lack vibrancy, lack depth, and lack fullness. Comes across as plain and simple, almost like a poorly constructed brown ale with a moderately hint of pumpkin flavor. Could benefit from some brown sugar yeast flavors and a little sweetness. I’m complaining a lot only because it wasn’t spectacular, and in all honesty I enjoyed drinking this since I’m generally a big fan of pumpkin beer.

Amber appearance with a nice head. Aroma was not very noteworthy. Spicy taste but lacking any pronounced pumpkin-like flavor. Spices blended well with malts to help smooth out the finish.(sb)
