Commercial Description:
Currently Thom’s Olde Ale is Harpoon Ale, our first beer.

The first in the Harpoon family of beers, our ale is a light amber in color, medium bodied, and well balanced. The slightly fruity aroma is from Harpoon’s special yeast.

Booooooring. It didn’t taste bad, per se, but I barely noticed I was drinking anything. The description is pretty accurate: light amber color, medium body, well balanced. No distinct hops or malt. Totally inoffensive and unassertive beer.

Pours a cloudy gold with a thin, white head. Aroma of fruity hops and malt. Slightly sweet taste of raisins, malt, and a touch of citrus hoppiness. Palate is thin with a dissipating wateriness that leaves me wanting a bit more complexity at the end. Like this one for its drinkability. Decent.

amber ale with quickly dissipating head making the glass look like I had alka seltzer... <G>.. The taste was good, though. I will be having more. (and probably today)

Pretty simple stuff. Pours amber gold. Caramel and vanilla in the front. Light fruit. Finish is dull. Decent.

Clear amber with a large frothy white head quckly and fully diminishing. Light malt aroma with a light fruity taste. Watery texture. Average for its style. Nothing very exciting or bold about this beer.

Clear amber, big white head, somewhat fruity aroma, with a hint of floral. Mildly malty, actually weak maltiness, not much body. a weak hop finish, clean but watery. This beer is nothing to brag about, disappointed.

Clear amber pour under a thin white head. Faint musty fruit aroma with a touch of flowery hops in background. Initial flavors of toffee and caramel with some weak maltiness. Mouthfeel is a bit thin and watery. Some very mild hop bitterness emerges in the finish , but fades quickly. Overall a clean ale, just a bit thin and forgetable.
