Harpoon Ale

Brewed by Harpoon Brewery
Style: Amber Ale
Boston, Massachusetts USA

Serve in English pint, Shaker

12 oz bottle. Pours a reddish brown with an almost non-existent off-white head. Aroma of malt, if anything. Malty flavor, but once again, not much there. Better than some other Harpoon offerings but not that great.

On tap at the Golden Rail. Pours a clear medium dark amber. Nice sweet toasted malt on the nose. Clean medium body with a nice light bitter finish. Nothing mind blowing, but no glaring flaws. Overall nice easy drinking session beer, but in general I’d grab something else over another pint of this, as it’s nearly forgettable.

Bottle. Pours a dark golden color with a small white head.very effervescent. Nose is very hoppy, fresh, a bit piney. Flavor is mainly hops with a small hint of light malt in the finsh. Fairly simple. Hops flavor and scents diminish as beer is allowed to air out a little and a bit more stale malt notes are present.

Pours amber into a shaker. Head quickly recedes to nothing. Heavy malt aromas. Fruity and crisp caramel from front to back. Quick, dry finish.

12oz bottle. Poured medium copper with a sizable head that diminished, good lacing along the glass. Nice malty aroma, some burnt caramel malt and a little sweetness.Medium fullness, very easy and drinkable. Flavor is dominated by a good malt content of caramel with some light roasted flavors and a good nuttinness. Little hop flavors and bitterness. Drinkable and easy on the palate, nice ale.

Smber color with barely a head. Thin, lightly caramelly aroma with some hops. Flavor is the same. Maybe a hint of hops. Very fizzy.

Bottle. Pours an amber body with a light off white head. Thin and simple malty beer with some corn sweetness. Mildly bitter with a note or two of grass.

nothing special, its too light on the malts and hops and the the carbonation is too fizzy to enjoy fully.
