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.

Very tasty! Mouth-watering hops melt into the malt. The Mass. Bay Brewing Co. in Boston has it all going on. End of story.

Great ale. Seemed like a cross between an amber and a lite brown. Good smooth finish.

obxdude10 (1811) - Pottstown, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 19, 2002
Very nice amber color, kept a great head throughout the bottle, nice balance, the hoppiness is very apparant, borderline to an APA almost, crisp clean aftertaste, great ale

Re-Rate:Tried it again this weekend and enjoyed every drop. Maybe I tasted a bad batch last time. Original Rating (3.1): Decent but I would not go out of my way to find some.

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

Spending time in Boston for many years, I fell in love with this perfectly balanced beer. One of the best of the bunch!

Dark yellowish color, big sturdy white head. Nice yet mild almost floral hop aroma. Flavor mildly sweet and somewhat fruity in an Englishy way, with American hop flavors, and medium bitterness. Easy drinking.
