COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Harp 5% Export is a premium lager with a 5% alcohol content and a rich, smooth taste. Harp is also exported to Europe and Canada.

The Celtic Harp is unique to Ireland and is as much a part of being Irish as the love of life, good music and the appreciation of a finely crafted beer. Harp is brewed to the traditional Irish way, from some of the finest barley and purest water in the world, for a fuller, richer flavour. Harp Lager's distinctive taste complements any cuisine.

Definitley a different tasting Harp. I sense a little more alcohol content in this version. The aroma is a little standofish. It smell a little bit too much like formaldehyde. The appearance is exceptional. I love the clear crisp look of the golden brew. Overall it is very drinkable and I would purchase this one again.

On tap and in 330ml bottle. I will rate the tap version as I thought it was a little more flavorful. Poured pale golden amber color with a finger of white head that left a little bit of lacing on the glass. Aromas of mild grains and some light toasted notes with a light grassy finish. Taste is malty sweet with mild toasty bitterness and a bit of citrus but mostly grassy hop bitterness as well. Quite a nice lager and deserved of premium status. If I had to rate the bottle I would give it a couple ticks less, maybe 2.9.

500 ml can from the lcbo. Golden pour, big fluffy white head. Aroma of toasted grains and slight cooked vegetables. A little watery, and a very low bitter finish. A little corny in the end. Meh, lawnmower beer.

Frothmeister (247) - Ontario, CANADA - JAN 25, 2012
500ml can. Pours a light gold with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet malt, honey, with some metallic notes. Taste is slightly sweet, with decent malt notes, a surprising floral taste, honey notes, and light hopping in the finish. Much better than the nose would lead to to believe. For a lager, this is pretty darn good. Surprise, surprise.

Cannette verte de 355 ml et bouteille 330 ml. 5%. Couleur jaune or, mousse blanche. Arôem de maïs et malt. En bouche, céréale et malt. Finale sans histoire. Quoi ?! Totalement surévaluée...le nom est connu donc elle est assez bien évaluée...personnellement sans histoire, d’autres bières inconnus étaient bien meilleures mais moins bien évaluées. Correct.

On tap; pours standard golden color. Aroma is of wheat and almost corn. Taste like any standard lager ... easy drinking. Not sure if I would order this myself though it was in the airport lounge.

Bottle. A nice refreshing, wheaty lager. A little higher abv than regular Harp lager. Not bad.
