Post Road Pumpkin Ale

I drink a lot of beer.

Not as much as I once did during my younger years (I still miss you, my dearest kegerator).

Anyway, I suppose I will occassionally review beers that I'm drinking, mainly so I remember to buy the good ones again (not that hard) and to not buy the bad ones again (this happens on occassion).

Unfortunately, this was one that I had bought in the past and couldn't quite remember how much I liked it (or didn't).

It's brewed by the folks at Brooklyn Brewery. The head quickly disappated. It had a good aroma of spices and such, as a pumpkin beer should. The taste was a little off for me though. I'm just not sure what its missing. I thought it had a little soapy (or metallic?) aftertaste. It's not as sweet as other pumpkin ales (Mandy liked this about this beer) so its drinkable with a meal.

I will not be purchasing again in the future. I'd stick to the Dogfish Head pumpkin ale if I could find it up here.
