Post Road Pumpkin

◎ Aussehen

Orange-amber hue with good transparency, reflecting the substantial pumpkin charge in the mash. The head is cream-colored and moderately persistent, with fair lacing that gradually fades. Carbonation is visible but restrained, befitting the moderate alcohol content.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with warm pumpkin and spiced pie notes—cinnamon and nutmeg are immediately apparent and well-integrated. A light biscuity maltiness provides the foundation, while noble hop character remains subtle and supporting rather than assertive. The overall impression is of harvest comfort without artificial sweetness.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and approachable, with the pumpkin and spice character translating cleanly from nose to palate. Mid-palate reveals a biscuity, light caramel sweetness from well-chosen malts, while bitterness remains controlled at 24 IBU—enough to balance without overshadowing the seasonal profile. The body is medium and uncluttered.

◑ Abgang

The finish is crisp and relatively dry, shedding excess sweetness and leaving a clean, slightly peppery aftertaste. The pumpkin spice notes linger briefly without cloying.
