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.

The aroma is light and somewhat corny with hops, yeast, nuts, and alcohol. The appearance is golden with a slight copper hue. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is watery but decently carbonated. The overall quality of this beer is disappointing yet still drinkable.

Have had this several times and never really cared for it. Run of the mill slightly sweet with a mild bitterness amber. Easy drinker with few rewards.

BeerHawk (1590) - Huntsville, Alabama, USA - AUG 21, 2008
Bottle. Poured amber with a fizzy off-white head that settles out to a ring. Nice caramel and honey aroma with a light hop and fruit background. The flavor has malt caramel with a slight fruit and grass touch. Light body and oily texture. Sweet throughout.

estoppel (1028) - Buffalo, New York, USA - AUG 5, 2008
Bottle. Amber body, honey in the nose, small head. Honey and an unpleasant graininess. Once upon a time, this would have been considered good beer. How far we have come!

Bottle pours a clear amber color with a medium sized head. Fair amount of hops and malt in the aroma. Flavor is slightly sweet, some notes of honey and caramel. Little bit of a bite in the finish from the hops.
