Commercial Description:
This deep copper colored ale blends a spectrum of malts to build a medium bodied, full flavored beer. The German hops provide a subtle aroma and a clean, bitter finish. The Harpoon 100 Barrel Series Alt is well-balanced, smooth, and refreshing.

Amber with a small head and spotty lace. Malty aroma, lager like. Mellow caramel. Flavors of caramel, mellow malts and some sour notes. Tangy.

Pours an amber color with a small ivory head. Very fruity aroma with a faint hop backing. Taste is very fruity, slightly tart, woody and malty, with a bitter end.

sampled at RBSG 04. Clear golden brown color with a pleasant aroma. The flavor was malty with some bite

Bottle. Cherry-amber color, light yellow head. Weak flavor up-front, before a complex woodiness comes through in the end with hints of tobacco. Floral and somewhat pungent aroma. Too thin of a mouthfeel for me to really enjoy.

Excellent in the glass, very very translucent and clear, resinous top, earthy copper in color, old earthy flavors, light medium effervescence, a bit of pencil eraser in the nose, a lot of flavor for such a light beer.

Clear sparkling copper body wth small head. Caramel malt is very forward in aroma with a light earthy yeast presence. Medium-bodied, lightly sweet with a lasting, sharply bitter finish. Maltier than other alts I’ve tried.

Bright copper in color with a large off-white head. Toasted malt aroma with a touch of earthy hops. Upfront sweet malt flavor with a bitter,hoppy dry finish.
