Brooklyn Post Road Pumpkin is my first pumpkin beer of the
new season. Brooklyn is, if nothing else, a consistently great brewery. Something about the water, or the yeast, or their very literary approach to making beer has always stood up to the test of time with them, and
their Pumpkin beer holds up with the rest of their releases.
Post Road Pumpkin smells like nutmeg and clove. The smell gives
way to a nice blend of sweet caramel with the aforementioned nutmeg and clove
with a hint of cinnamon and pumpkin. The spice isn’t over offensive though, and
actually gives a nice balance to the very minimal hops on the tongue. This is
my idea of a good pumpkin beer and I’m glad it’s the first one I’m reviewing.
It tastes like a beer that has some pumpkin pie in the background, not like a
pumpkin pie milkshake. Truly one
of the best pumpkin beers to start with.
