Style: Amber Ale
Boston, Massachusetts USA

Serve in English pint, Shaker

Pours golden orange with a nice white head. Light hoppy and citrus aroma. Flavor is smooth orange and honey, with a touch of hops in the finish.

Pours dark straw/orangish. Aroma of malt, some fruit, hops, slight honey. Tastes malty, with finishing hints of hops, citrus, caramel/honey/toffee maltiness.

Somewhat sweet malty caramel sweet aroma. Not much else. Clear amberish copper color with a small quickly dissipating white head. Roasty toasty malt flavor. Light, slighty astringent and thin. Just some roastiness in the end. Not advsed.

Light western hop and toffee aroma. Medium sweetness, western hops, some caramel. Underbittered and watery at times. Medium-light body. Medium rusty orange beer. Finish has a building bitterness with some marzen-like qualities. Fairly tart at times. Nothing to separate it from the pack, but drinkable.

competent and dull. amberish, light nougat aroma, hint of red berries, quite sweet, generic hops

Has a slight citursy aroma, light orange appearance with a thin, quickly fading white head. Has a very muted flavor of white grapes with a hint of citrus -not much else - not bad - just bland. Very smooth mouthfeel. I was a bit dissapointed compared to the other Harpoon’s I have had. Part of a 12 pack of a mixer that Harpoon is putting out.

Forgot this is where they started. Had a bottle at a seafood restaurant and it was the perfect choice. Light floral notes above a dark chestnut pour. Thirst quenching with above average malt characteristics. Light hop finish leads to more of this very drinkable amber ale.

Had this one on draught in Manhattan, New York. Standard amber ale. Hoppy aroma, very little head, rich red color, overall, a textbook amber.
