Aug 17, 2008 Sampled at the Flour City Brewers’ Fest 2008. Harpoon IPA is a sparkling, light golden ale with a thick, fluffy, white head. The head retention is excellent. The aroma is muted by the head. I’m picking up a slight note of banana, which is odd. It certainly smells fruity. It is medium light bodied, pretty smooth, a little metallic, and the finish is dry. It has OK bitterness and a touch of sweetness. There is a grassy flavor here. It’s pretty drinkable.

Aug 15, 2008 Bottle. Floral earthy nose with light amber appearance. Very mild, crisp IPA with slight bitterness. A satisfying mildly hoppy brew.

Aug 14, 2008 Grassy, earthy hop flavors and aromas instead of citrus. Very drinkable but mild. As a pale ale this would be pretty good, but as an IPA it just doesn’t have enough hops to satisfy.

Aug 12, 2008 Had this as a cask drawn at an English restaurant in Stowe, VT. Dark amber color with barely any head at all. Aroma is malty and too much to be honest. Not much on the nose as far as hops go. Flavor is creamy but just too malty for my liking in an IPA. Reminds me of a bass more than an IPA.

Aug 11, 2008 A medium bodied IPA. Hoppy from the start. Crisp and refreshing. Copper color, little head and lacing. Not a lot going on in the flavor department when it comes to unqniueness. Good for IPA drinkers only.

Aug 10, 2008 Bottle. Very clear, copper/ golden ale, floral hoppy aroma. Bitter, but not overpowering, hoppy and faintly fruity. Good beer, but not a great great ale or anything, though I would highly recommend it.

Aug 9, 2008 Pours gold in color with just a slight froth of head forming on the pour. Smell is very floral hops. Taste is less of the hops, but a balanced ale. Easy to drink and non-cloying. Decent session beer, but nothing great.
