2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20 JoeMcPhee (6966) - Toronto, ON, - OCT 20, 2006
22 oz bomber. Pale golden beer, thick white head. Aroma is slightly metallic, which is never a good sign with notes of stale earthy/spicy hops that become even more so as it warms up. Light breadiness with a hint of light toastiness. Apple/pear esters and a soft earthy hop flavour. Probably suffers from a lack of freshness, but there wasn’t much going on in here to begin with.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 5/20 matalec1984 (48) - Massachusetts, USA - JUN 1, 2012
On tap
pour is a heavy gold/copper with medium carbonation. Mouthful is a little sticky for my taste.
Aroma is very light...hard to pull out the hops.
Flavor is fairly bland, bready with a strong bitterness but the hops don’t really have any complexity
Not my favorite as far as ipa’s go

Bottle - good size foamy head, pale copper color, decent hopa aroma and flavor, well balanced with malt - not the strongest IPA in the world, but not bad

Poured fresh from brewery tap, the copper-colored beer offers a floral aroma, with a nice hop finish.
3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 jimmie65 (5) - Texas, USA - MAY 27, 2012 does not count
Pale golden color.
Aroma was weak - hard to pick up at all.
Not much bitter for an IPA, but full-bodied and refreshing. Creamy.
I wouldn’t turn down a free one, but much better IPAs out there.

Smells slightly of hops. There’s a sharp bitter taste and not much else. Pale golden colour. Christ this gets worse and worse as it goes down. Astringent as hell. On tap at the Salt Hill Pub in Newport, NH.

Great colour, overall palate is good too, goes down smooth. I prefer it ice cold which gives off a great taste.

What up, Harpoon? This was a nice surprise! The aroma was average, mild. The taste was awesome, really moderate for an IPA, this isn’t a HOP-HEAD beer, just a good tastin’ brew. Moderate body, creamy for an IPA.
