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.

Bottle. Pours clear gold, white head. Aroma is malt and hops. Flavor is the same. Again, like their IPA, this is on the pilsner side, although not as good as the IPA: it’s weaker and less flavorful.

pours cloudy brown with slight white head. the aroma was nothing but air. i caught a slight taste of hops, a slight sourness, but mostly water in the falvor. the finish was also watery. not much to recommend going on here.

Pours a light golden color with fluffy white head. Nothing stood out. Not a terrible beer but nothing to get excited about.

Poured a clear amber with a white head. Aroma was of malts and a bit of hops. As for the taste, it had the right balance of malts and hops, but the malts are present in the beginning, and the hop flavor comes out at the end, which creates a weird sensation. The flavor is not as watered down as I expected.

Bottle. Nice amber color with a pure white head. Floral aroma with some sweet sugary malts. The flavor is well balanced with a slight crispness. A very nice and easy drinking amber.

(bottle - 12 oz) Amber color with a puffy tan head. Aroma is light with some caramel, lots of malts, and a light touch of hops. Flavor is mild and middle of the road. Caramel and sweet malts begin with a light hop flavor near the end. Rather unassuming and plain.
