Nov 18, 2006 Forget the style and it is a good drink, quite bitter with malt kicking in at the finish. A good bitterness, a tad of spice and drinkable. Nice head, fresh, golden body.A nice summer beer. One dimensional. This could be some else’s ESB.

Nov 13, 2006 Yowza. I found this to have too much in the way of hops flavoring for me.

Oct 12, 2006 Seemed to have a bit of skunk at first, but it aired out and was fine. The initial flavor is of malt. Grainy, graham cracker flavor. Dry maltiness. Then, the back features a clean noble hop profile. Floral, spicy and surprisingly bitter. Not quite as hoppy as a pilsner, but this basically tastes like a cross between the malt of a vienna and hops of a pilsner. Very refreshing. I wish there were more examples of this style to try out. Easily the most impressive beer I’ve had from Harpoon.

Oct 4, 2006 Pours a rich head. Dark orange. Aroma of light hops and spice. Flavour is similar to the aroma; hoppy with a stronger spice note. Yeast is present in the finish. Some caramel flavour. Overall a warm lightly spiced beer.

Sep 24, 2006 Bottle. Poured hazy copper color with a large frothy off-white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate bready malty aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Medium balanced flavor with a smooth malty finish of moderate duration. Solid drinkable beer that is good ovarall and very good to style.

Sep 3, 2006 Golden in color with a slight haze and a dense off-white head.Aroma of floral hopa nd bready malt with a touch of citrus. Flavor is sweet bready malt backed up with a zing of hop bitterness in the finish.I’ve not had many calassic examples of this style, but on it’s own, it’s a well brewed and highly drinkable beer.
