Pours clear mahogany in color with a very short lived cap of head. As the norm, the aroma is a blend of pumpkin and baking spices. The flavor is nice. The spices are the highlight of this brew, with notes of nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice, along with hints of pumpkin and brown sugar. The high carbonation of this ale creates a creamy body as the bubbles mellow on the pallet. There is a clove sweetness to this ale that fades to a sticky lingering pumpkin finish.
Another good seasonal offering. Samuel Adams Harvest Pumpkin Ale is a fall baking spice delight. What's important is the spices, while relevant, don't overwhelm this ale, which allows the pumpkin flavor to be enjoyed as well.
The Great Pumpkin agrees: Samuel Adams, always a good choice.
