Review: Samuel Adams 20 Pounds of Pumpkin

Samuel Adams 20 Pounds of Pumpkin is a new seasonal pumpkin ale.  Samuel Adams has a long history of crafting pumpkin ales and this years lineup also includes Fat Jack Pumpkin Ale, and Harvest Pumpkin Ale.  Pumpkin Batch no longer appears on their web site, so it may not be available this year.  Most pumpkin beers contain as much real pumpkin as a bottle of Bud Light.  If you read their labels you will find they are Pumpkin Spice flavored.  As the name implies, 20 Pounds of Pumpkin is brewed with 20 pounds of pumpkin in each barrel.  This compares to the 11 pounds Samuel Adams uses to craft their Harvest Pumpkin Ale.  Spices including ginger, cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg are included in the brewing process.It pours to a red pumpkin orange color with a thick orange hued tan head.  The aroma leads with malt and molasses.  Nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger play a secondary roll.  The molasses and smoked malt entry has a creamy fullness indicative of the added pumpkin.  Cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg flavor arrive at the midpoint but do not overwhelm.  It fades with slightly more of a hopped presence than the 14IBU’s would suggest, and finishes with a flavor profile closely resembling the aroma.  If you are tired of drinking beers that taste more like pumpkin pie than a well crafted ale, Samuel Adams 20 Pounds of Pumpkin may be just what the doctor ordered.
