COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Harpoon Brown is brewed to accentuate the sweeter, rounder notes derived from six different malts, including a de-husked chocolate malt that adds a hint of chocolate. The blend of these malts produces a beer that is complex and delicious without being heavy. This drinkable beer is perfect as a session beer or paired with foods.

thegreenrooster (2438) - St.louis, Missouri, USA - APR 1, 2009
Pour is a brown with a big tan head. Aroma is malty and bready. Flavor is deffinatly on the sweeter side with some roast flavor left on the tounge. Not much else to say other than its a better than average brown ale.

adavis234 (278) - Columbia, South Carolina, USA - MAR 28, 2009
12 oz bottle. Pours a clear, dark brown color with a quickly dissipating off-white head. A little bit of chocolate and malt in the aroma but not much there. Roasted flavor immediately hits the tongue when you take a sip but other than that there isn’t much to this brew. Not bad, but not great either.

sallad (115) - USA - MAR 25, 2009
Clear bronze, fizzy tan head. Sweet apple blossoms in the aroma, dark caramel, bit of cocoa and resin. Nice malt, not overly sweet but mildly balanced by hops and roasted grains. Perfect carbonation washes this brew across the tongue, coating the mouth with a long, nutty finish.

jeremytoni (2226) - Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA - MAR 22, 2009
From a bottle poured brown with a good amount of head. Nice sweet malty flavor with a quick finish.

popkow (198) - New York, New York, USA - MAR 21, 2009
12 fl oz bottle poured a light brown ale with small head. Blend of malts bends this brew to a more seasonal ale rather then a true blue brown. Wheat notes with a spice finish.

cazort (456) - Newark, Delaware, USA - MAR 8, 2009
(Bottle) A weak beer overall. Very fizzy carbonation like a soda. Thin, with a mild roast flavor. Only a little bitterness. Uninteresting but perfectly drinkable and without any major objectionable qualities. To its credit, not too sweet.

elihapa (1369) - Honolulu, Hawaii, USA - MAR 5, 2009
Bottle. Pours burnt red-orange with a weak head. Aroma of grass, minerals, and malt. Flavor is a anemic concoction of biscuits, malt and grass. Even by Harpoon’s standards this beer is forgettable.

BroSpud (1124) - , Massachusetts, USA - MAR 2, 2009
12oz bottle. Included in Harpoon mix pack. This is an OK beer for what it is. Not very strong with little character but it is very drinkable.
