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.

NJBeerman013 (969) - Trenton, New Jersey, USA - JAN 7, 2008
Bottle. Nice amber color with a pure white head. Floral aroma with some sweet sugary malts. The flavor is well balanced with a slight crispness. A very nice and easy drinking amber.

zach8270 (2803) - Henrietta, New York, USA - JAN 7, 2008
(bottle - 12 oz) Amber color with a puffy tan head. Aroma is light with some caramel, lots of malts, and a light touch of hops. Flavor is mild and middle of the road. Caramel and sweet malts begin with a light hop flavor near the end. Rather unassuming and plain.

Xenothaulus (7) - Plymouth, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 4, 2008 does not count
12 oz. bottle from a "sampler pack" Dark golden color in glass mug, strong foamy head. Very thin mouthfeel, mild sourness and bittersweet flavors. Unassuming and non-threatening, this tastes like beer-flavored, slightly flat soda water.

dpjuart (889) - Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 19, 2007
12 oz. bottle. Pours gold with amber hues. Two finger foamy white head. Carmel nose with some fruity esters. Thin body with medium carb. Taste is carmel malt and fruit with a mild hop bitterness/flavor at the end. Pretty well balanced. Not bad, very sessionable.

Draught at Brickseller, Washington DC
Golden color; creamy head. Very simple Amber Ale, with just some caramel, and quite watered.

bombshelter (349) - San Francisco, California, USA - NOV 29, 2007
12oz bottle from Rustico. pale gold, very clear, thin white film of head. Aroma is all malty fruit. Thin mouthfeel, flavor is bready malt and a dry finish (with a hint of acidity?). Tastes like yeungling. And that’s not a good thing.
