Not altogether a bad IPA; it is sort of like a intermediate IPA in price and assertiveness. This is my first try from Harpoon and I’m not overwhelmed, but hopeful.

12 oz bottle. Pours a yellow gold almost light brown with a nice white head. Floral hops kind of nose. Medium-light body, kind of watery on the taste, but the finish is somewhat hoppy and a nice citrus note opens up. Pretty good IPA.

Very tasty beer. Enjoyed the subtle floral aroma. The color was medium golden, had a minimal head. Had a medium, pleasant, honey taste. The finish was lingering slightly, tempting me to take another sip. Overall, very smooth and refreshing.

Clean refreshing IPA with fresh flavors. Less hoppy then most out there but finishes dry and crisp. Love this beer.

AirForceHops (987) - Epping, New Hampshire, USA - SEP 12, 2010
12 oz. bottle. Pours straw yellow with huge, foamy white head. Hop aroma, floral and touch of malty sweetness. Sweet malt start with moderate hop bitterness, and a touch of hop flavor. Dry, clean finish with a bitter after. A solid offering. I’m not a huge IPA drinker, but this is a good one.

MiP (11255) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - SEP 10, 2010
Bottle. Mild caramelly aroma. Almost clear dark golden colour. Very small white head. Good caramelly flavour. Not overly much, but enough. Slightly high bitterness, clean. Well-balanced. A good IPA for beginners.

(draft) On tap at One Bistro in Norwood, MA. A mild IPA. Easy to drink and session. Not overly bitter with muted hop quality.
