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.

Pours amber into a shaker. Head quickly recedes to nothing. Heavy malt aromas. Fruity and crisp caramel from front to back. Quick, dry finish.

12oz bottle. Poured medium copper with a sizable head that diminished, good lacing along the glass. Nice malty aroma, some burnt caramel malt and a little sweetness.Medium fullness, very easy and drinkable. Flavor is dominated by a good malt content of caramel with some light roasted flavors and a good nuttinness. Little hop flavors and bitterness. Drinkable and easy on the palate, nice ale.

Smber color with barely a head. Thin, lightly caramelly aroma with some hops. Flavor is the same. Maybe a hint of hops. Very fizzy.

Bottle. Pours an amber body with a light off white head. Thin and simple malty beer with some corn sweetness. Mildly bitter with a note or two of grass.

nothing special, its too light on the malts and hops and the the carbonation is too fizzy to enjoy fully.

The aroma is light and somewhat corny with hops, yeast, nuts, and alcohol. The appearance is golden with a slight copper hue. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is watery but decently carbonated. The overall quality of this beer is disappointing yet still drinkable.

Have had this several times and never really cared for it. Run of the mill slightly sweet with a mild bitterness amber. Easy drinker with few rewards.
