Apr 7, 2009 Bottle shared by robert at SL. After drinking some killer DIPA and stouts it isnt fair to rate this beer, but I thought it held its own compared to some of the big boys. Light orange in color. Sweet maple aroma and taste. Very easy to drink. Overall a will have to pick up this beer again to give it chance. Still a nice session beer.

Apr 5, 2009 22ox bottle pour. Very disappointing from Harpoon. A slightly dark wheat beer- I’d like to call it a "whole grain wheat" beer, somehow. Maple flavours almost non existent, not even a lingering sweetness to "fake the flavour". Wouldn’t buy again, but maybe my standards were too high thanks to "maple" in the title.

Apr 5, 2009 Updated: Jun 19, 2009Draft at the local with a sub-par turkey sammich. Greenish amber in the glass. Heas diminishes to film but is consistent until the end. Body is Medium and finishes light. First touch of tounge is sweet maltiness in which the maple syrup tones emerge. A pleasant smokiness enters the scent and lingers until a sweet gently hoppy finish prevails. Wheatiness is absorbed by the rest of the gooings on and is faintly noticable. A pleasant pint that overcame the sub-par grub.

Apr 4, 2009 Bomber. Clear amber with a huge yellowish head. Sweet nose, sugary and wheaty, some lemon. No maple detected in the nose. Sweet flavors of maple and caramel, some earth and something herbal. Body is somewhat thick and sticky, nice webby lace. Not bad. If I hadn’t read the label, I wouldn’t have pegged this as a wheat or maple beer.

Apr 3, 2009 Nose is pungently sweet, with a sour and bitter finish, much like a Miller Lite or Bud Lite. Appearance is a golden, redish-amber color. Taste is bitter on the palate - the sweetness of the maple syrup is quickly overpowered by the flatness of the beer and bitterness of the aftertaste.

Apr 2, 2009 amber brown. very mellow nose, clean, crisp...malty and sweet. not a very "wheaty" wheat brew... mellow crisp light sweet and caramel malt taste at first, with a little tanginess and a little maple flavor coming after you swallow.

Apr 1, 2009 22 oz bomber. Pours a clear cola brown with a 1/2" off white head. Nose is mild malt and grain. Palate is average in body with moderate carbonation. Flavor is all grains with some sweet malt. Maybe just a tiny, miniscul, hint of maple. A bit of a disappointment. I expect better things from Harpoon, especially their 100 Barrel Series.

Mar 29, 2009 Pours to an amber brown with a reasonably sized head. Sweet aroma.
Very much a simple wheat beer with a hint of maple. Thin, sweet. That’s all.
I keep wanting to like the Harpoon 100 barrel series and might continue to buy it but this one isn’t a winner.
