      This one was a nice pour that had a low head. It only came up to about a finger tall but then hung out at the top of the glass for a good while. The color of this one was orange and allowed light to pass through easily. The scent is the pumpkin and the nutmeg that are main ingredients. When tasting it you find a new respect for pumpkin beers. Most try to go for the pumpkin pie taste this one goes for a pumpkin beer taste. Not to sweet, or overwhelming clove flavors, like many others. I can see the follicles frolicking in this one again soon!
      Fall is almost here, and for some reason, there's nothing but pumpkin ales from every single company. This however is not one of the many that have just popped up. Post Road I have seen for many years and now I'm reviewing it. This is a great beer that really balances pumpkin and malt to give it a great taste. If you skip most pumpkin ales this autumn make sure you give this one a try. I doubt you'll be disappointed!
