COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Currently Thom’s Olde Ale is Harpoon Ale, our first beer.

The first in the Harpoon family of beers, our ale is a light amber in color, medium bodied, and well balanced. The slightly fruity aroma is from Harpoon’s special yeast.

A copper color with a fair head. Aroma is malty with some fresh fruit detectable. Flavor is a little weak with a good malt presence. This is a very clean and refreshing beer just not alot more you can say really. I enjoyed it.

Nice amber color. Decent head. Sweet yeast aroma,faint bread dough and citrus fruit. No hop aroma, not much hop taste but I think it works out. Not Bad..

This was almost undrinkable. The aroma is musty and the flavor is somewhat watered down and weak. Very dissapointing.

This amber beer had very little head. The aroma was malty with some fruit and no hops, but somewhat weak. The flavor was slightly sweet, but unremarkable. Nothing special going on here.

A well balanced ale. Very disappointing head with decent lacing. Almost no hop aroma. Flavor makes up for the appearance. Very smooth and only slightly bitter. Little aftertaste. Above average amber ale.

This beer is decent. Overall, the harpoon brand seems to be good yet unchallenging and mostly uninteresting.

Bottle. Pours a light amber color that is mostly clear. Decent head that fails quickly but never leaves completely with light lacing and an earthy somewhat malty nose. Not much sweetness but an immediate bitterness even though this brew did not have an overwhelming hop aroma. Mouthfeel is nice for an ale with small bubbles in its carbonation and a finish of light to medium bitterness rolling into a toffee-like ending. In short, pretty damn good ale.
