Brookyln Brand Post Road Pumpkin Ale

8/10 To awaken this new season of all things pumpkin, I introduce to you sumthing of great importance to me; beer, but not just any beer, PUMPKIN BEER. Now I won't lie, pumpkin beer has never been a favorite of mine. It lacks the potent hops and malt flavor that I savor from an IPA, but when I bought a 6-pack of this on a whim (while we are being completely honest, they were out of my usual choice, and I settled with this), I brought it home and was delightfully surprised.There were notes of the hops that I thrive for, as well as notes of nutmeg and cinnamon that make pumpkin spice, well, PUMPKIN SPICE that I've never tasted so far in a pumpkin ale. At a 5% ABV, it served as an adequate thirst-quencher and offers a satisfying pumpkin spice flavor for those so inclined. The first sip is heavy, full of hops and malt. Seconds later it fades and opens up a world of cinnamon and nutmeg onto your tastebuds. The aftermath of the first sip leaves you satisfied and delighted in your pumpkin spice purchase. You won't be disappointed.
