Post Road Pumpkin Ale by Brooklyn Brewery

Although not prevalent from the marketing, Post Road Pumpkin Ale is a product of Brooklyn Brewery. I have often wondered why such a fine beer does not proudly proclaim the Brooklyn name. The rumor is that Post Road was the name of the brewery bought by Brooklyn that owned this recipe. However, I still do not understand the lack of updated packaging.
Post Road is a beer I must buy each fall. I only have a couple beers each season that I insist on having and this one makes the cut. When poured from a bottle into a pint glass you should see a medium white head that will dissipate. The beer has an orange tinge to the normal amber color and has solid pumpkin pie aroma. When drinking Post Road, you taste a distinct maltiness coupled with bitterness and a light body. The beer finishes crisp and dry.
With a 5% ABV this is a beer you can sit around and drink all night. I recommend serving Post Road between dinner and dessert if your the host separates the two. Either way, Post Road Pumpkin Ale is a must have for the fall season.
