Notes:
Early American colonialists, seeking natural ingredients for brewing ales, turned to pumpkins, which were plentiful, flavorful and nutritious. Blended with barley malt, pumpkins became a commonly used beer ingredient. Post Road Pumpkin Ale brings back this tasty tradition. Hundreds of pounds of pumpkins are blended into the mash of each batch, creating a beer with an orange amber color, warm pumpkin aroma, biscuity malt center, and crisp finish.

No freshness date; Poured in a pint glass.
A - Pours less than an inch of very light tan bubbly head that doesn't stick around long; Medium amber in color with a very clear appearance; No lacing left behind
S - Pretty good blend of lightly roasted pumpkins, pie crust, and spices - cinnamon / nutmeg; Bit of earth comes through as well
T - Cinnamon and nutmeg spices jump forward first, but are soon followed by a light wave of pumpkin flavor; Pumpkin is a bit on the sweet side, but pairs well with the lingering spicy and bready character; Barley and grains are underneath the pumpkin and spice
M - Crisp, lively carbonation and a bit under medium bodied; Finishes a bit on the dry side and leaves the mouth a bit sticky as well
O - This pumpkin ale is pretty straight forward - not really complex and not an overachiever for the style. However, the nice thing about this offering is that it doesn't over-do the spices and lets the pumpkin come through a bit. Plus, it's pretty drinkable for a pumpkin ale and a great candidate if you're looking to have a few glasses in one sitting.

A - Deep orange, almost brown. Looks like a standard pumpkin ale, with a light white foam ring crowning it well. Good retention.
S - Mostly pumpkin, backed by a solid biscuit malt. Slightly sweet, with some very faint cinammon and possible ginger notes.
T - A slice of pumpkin rolled through butter and given life through an ale. Delicious and moderate. Not the most unique or exciting, but it serves it's purpose well, and could be enjoyed in quanitity.
M - just thick enough to be inviting. Not too carbonated, not too sweet and thick, just a refreshing, drinkable ale.
O - Pumpkin ales are a style that invite alot of different interpretation. This is an easy drinker, refreshing, and probably right for a six-pack kinda night
