COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The Harpoon 100 Barrel Series Ginger Wheat Ale is an ode to brewer Scott Shirley’s favorite spice, ginger. The earthy, warming flavor of this golden-hued ale is derived from fresh ginger. Honey from a local New Hampshire farm yields a slight sweetness to balance the ginger spiciness. A small addition of Apollo hops adds floral notes to the aroma, while a hint of lemon adds acidity and rounds out the ginger flavor. Warm up your chilly winter nights with this ginger spiced beer.

Cletus (6177) - Connecticut, USA - JAN 24, 2010
Pours pale with a white head. Smells of pronounced ginger. Taste yields lots of ginger bitterness with a touch of wheat. A good concept, but this one tastes too much like ginger ale and not enough like beer.

mabel (5043) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 16, 2010
[2778-20100219] Bottle. Ginger hand soap aroma is quite pungent and hints a little at urinal puck. Slightly hazy, light orange brown body with a quick foamy white head. Ginger urinal cake continues in the flavour and stays very floral. Medium body. Odd floral, very odd.

KAggie97 (3530) - Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA - JUL 5, 2012
Bottle. Pours an average golden yellow with a nose of hay, grass, and bleached wheat. Flavor is grassy biscuit and light honey-glazed hay. Watery on the tongue. Ginger? I’ve seen more in a brunette-on-brunette lesbian flick.

BigHoss (103) - Fort Worth, Texas, USA - SEP 30, 2012
Bright yellow color, and I smell ginger, clove, white bread. I taste ginger, yeast, orange, and a bitterness of hops in the finish. Almost like a beer ginger ale, decent beer.....

Fratto (2328) - Arlington, Texas, USA - AUG 15, 2012
Bottle from the DWG Majestic. Very light pour with a big white head. Aroma is ginger and wheat. Shocking. Taste is astringent, heavy ginger, and a little lemon, and pepper.

nyindiansfan (435) - rochester, New York, USA - OCT 12, 2012
Bottle pours golden big head. Gross. Tastes smells ginger bread spices pepper hops. Bitter and nasty maybe a bit of lemon. I like ginger I like beer I don’t like ginger beer tastes like shit.
