Pumpkin Ale 5 º 24 IBU

Brooklyn Brewery

Brooklyn Post Road Pumpkin Ale captures the essence of harvest with a refined, drinkable balance. Pouring a clear amber with orange highlights, it opens with a warm, inviting aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg supported by a distinct biscuity malt backbone. The palate features the toasted bread and pie crust notes typical of a well-crafted Autumn Seasonal Beer, while real pumpkin adds a subtle, earthy richness without being cloying. Unlike heavier dessert stouts, this ale maintains a crisp finish and moderate carbonation, making it exceptionally refreshing. The spice profile is well-integrated, complementing the malt-forward center rather than overpowering the delicate fermentation character.

Appearance. Medium amber with distinct orange-copper highlights. Brilliant clarity. Off-white, creamy head with moderate persistence and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity. Dominant notes of warm baking spices—cinnamon and nutmeg—well-integrated with a biscuity, toasted bread malt character. Low floral hop aroma. Clean fermentation profile with no significant esters.

Taste. Initial impression of toasted biscuit and light caramel. The mid-palate reveals a prominent biscuity malt center, followed by supportive spice flavors of nutmeg and clove. Hop bitterness is low to moderate, providing just enough balance against the malt sweetness. Pumpkin provides an elusive, squash-like richness. Finishes crisp and clean with a lingering hint of spice.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a slightly creamy texture. Moderate carbonation provides a crisp bite. Very low alcohol warmth, consistent with its 5% ABV. No astringency from spices.
