Poured as part of a flight. Golden color, light hop aroma, light head and lacing. Not as hoppy as many American IPAs, but very drinkable. A great standby for any occasion.

Pretty light for an IPA, must be going after the English IPA style because it ain’t even close for an American IPA. Floral aroma, light on the bitterness, but it does have a nice lemon and grapefruit flavor.

Easy drinking unassuming IPA. Not to be passed as an option when selection is limited. The malt really shines.

Hoppy is as as hoppy does... Riddle me that... Harpoon is good, but after a night of excellent Arrogant Bastard and BJ’s Hopstorm, it just doesn’t measure up...
