Harpoon Brewery

Boston, MA (This is page 3. See pages 1, 2, 4, and 5. Page 1 has a description of the brewery itself.)

Harpoon Lime-y Vice
Gose - 4.7% ABV
Pete
     Great summer beer. Smell the tartness, but really just taste lime. It's basically a slightly better Corona without the effort of adding lime.

Harpoon Maple Tap Imperial Porter
Imperial Porter - 10.5% ABV
Pete
     This is an outstanding beer. It's sweet, but not too sweet. You still enjoy the almost creamy nature of the beer. It hides the booze well, but you know it's there.

Harpoon Moose & Rocco
Strong Ale - 8.98% ABV
Pete
     Pictured on the left. This puts all other beers that taste "nutty" to shame, since it actually has a bunch of nuts in it. It really does taste like nuts, and it's creamy and malty as well. Pretty good.

Harpoon Moose Pond Trail Lager
Amber Lager - 5.7% ABV
Pete
     Pictured 2nd from the right. I don't love ambers in general, but this one is hoppy enough to balance it, so I like it.

Harpoon Mr. Tea
Red Ale - 5.78% ABV
Pete
     Pictured on the right. Tastes like sweet tea and has a great name. Love it.

Harpoon 'Murica Pale Ale
Pale Ale - 5.44% ABV
Pete
     Pictured up top. Very hoppy, almost grassy flavor along with a super light body makes for a great beer.

Harpoon 100 Barrel Series: Nana's Nightcap
Imperial Porter - 9% ABV
Pete
     Meant to taste like an oatmeal cookie, but I got more gingerbread than oatmeal. Nothing wrong with that, great porter. Pretty rich/thick with a hint of booziness.

Harpoon New England Pale Ale
New England Pale Ale - 5.22% ABV
Pete
     Excellent. Tropical fruit like you expect from a NE style, but also fairly mild and quite drinkable. Would be a great beer to drink during the day.

Harpoon Passion Fruit Tart
Sour - 5.52% ABV
Pete
     Pretty good beer. Mild tropical fruit going down with a mild sour and a touch salty aftertaste.

Harpoon Rich & Dan's Rye IPA
Rye IPA - 6.9% ABV
Pete
     I'm not a fan of the general idea of a rye IPA, but this one has a good depth of flavors. There is a nice citrus flavor in there somewhere.

Harpoon Rose Ale
Pale Ale - 5.8% ABV
Pete
     Supposedly this has malbec grapes in it. Pretty light with a touch of grape flavor. Kind of impressively light at this ABV.

Harpoon 100 Barrel Series #58: Secret Alloy Ale
Pale Ale - 7.2% ABV
Pete
     This is a solid pale ale that's way more bitter than most of the style.

​Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's


Picture
Harpoon Sevens Dark Ale
Old Ale - 5% ABV
Pete
     This is very good. It is dark with some nice toasted flavor without being too thick. Usually beers special to specific bars/cities suck, but this one is worth getting for sure. When in Beacon Hill.

Harpoon Spring Cider
Cider - 5% ABV
Pete
     Solid cider. Pretty sweet, but nothing ridiculous. Drinkable.

Harpoon Summer Beer
Wheat Beer - 5.5% ABV
Pete
     This beer is light and refreshing, the way all summer ales should be.
