Boston, MA (This is page 2. See pages 1, 3, 4, and 5. Page 1 has a description of the brewery itself.)
Harpoon Dark
Dunkelweizen - 5.5% ABV Pete This beer's name doesn't exactly give you much insight into what to expect. That being said, since it is a dunkelweizen, and 'dunkel' means dark, it makes sense to me now. It is a very good beer, with a prevailing malty flavor that is a real winner. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Harpoon El Triunfo Coffee Porter
Porter - 6% ABV Pete This is one of the best porters you will ever have. It has some nice chocolatey sweetness that balances the coffee flavor nicely. It's worth paying a little extra to get a bottle of this guy. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Harpoon Flannel Friday
Amber Ale - 5.7% ABV Pete I had to try this out of loyalty to Harpoon. It's a style I don't like and, predictably, I didn't like this one. It was actually kind of hard to drink. Just not a fan. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |

Harpoon Fresh Tracks
Pale Ale - 6.2% ABV Pete Just not enough flavor for me here. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |

Harpoon 100 Barrel Series #42: Ginger Wheat
Pale Wheat Ale - 7% ABV Pete This is super mild, and goes down really without you noticing it, which I guess is good for a 7% beer. I really wanted more ginger flavor, and this just didn't have much. If you're looking for a mild wheat beer with a hint of ginger, this could be for you, but it's not for me. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |

Harpoon Hoppy Adventure
Imperial IPA - 7.8% ABV Pete This was surprisingly mild for something labeled a "double IPA". It isn't too bitter, and is pretty easy to drink. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

Harpoon Imperial Pumpkin
Pumpkin Stout - 10.5 % ABV Pete This is an outstanding pumpkin beer. It isn't pure pumpkin. The fact that it's a stout and incredibly strong gives it more than just the simple pumpkin note. It's not as good as Pumking, but it's pretty damn close. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Harpoon Interrobang
Imperial Stout - 18% ABV Pete This is described as a cold brew espresso stout. I couldn't pinpoint that flavor. I am not sure how, but I tasted black pepper in this. It doesn't taste all that strong, but I'm afraid I can't do it justice as it was too complex for me. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Harpoon IPA
IPA - 5.9% ABV Pete This is an above average IPA. It has the bitterness of the hops, but they are toned down for an IPA. You get a little more beer flavor than a standard IPA because it isn't that bitter. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Harpoon Lemongrass Spearmint Hefeweizen
Hefeweizen - ?.??% ABV Pete There is no information on this beer anywhere, but I definitely had it on tap at a bar in Boston. The name of the beer was written in chalk on the tap. I can tell you that my best guess for why I can't find anything about this online is that Harpoon wants to pretend like they didn't make it. It is completely terrible. Lemongrass and spearmint are 2 ingredients that should never be put in beers, and this has both of them. Just awful. Ratings: Pete - 2 Shyoh's |
|
Harpoon Leviathan Great Scott
Wee Heavy - 10.2% ABV Pete This beer has some nice malty flavors, but for the price, it isn't all that great. It is very hard to hide the amount of alcohol in this one, and it has a burn going down. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Harpoon Leviathan IPA
Imperial IPA - 10% ABV Pete This is a very strong beer. And it tastes like it. Definitely a sipper Rating: 3 Shyoh's |
|
Harpoon Leviathan Single Hop
Imperial IPA - 10% ABV Pete This is the beer on the bottom right. It is pretty darn bitter, but pretty darn tasty. The hops come through in more ways that just bitterness. Nice. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
