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.

Very good drinking beer. That is to say, very good when you want to throw several down among good friends. Very tasty, with good aroma and head retention. Nice deep color.

Fruity, sour, peachy aroma. Velvety mouthfeel, bit of tang in there, some hoppy feel and a dry finish. Appearance is filtered dark yellow. Serviceable.

Strong presence of alcohol. Caramel malt aroma and a slight hop aroma. Hops are not as present as they could be in the flavor. The flavor I notice most is the caramel malt flavor. Caramel brown color. A pretty boring beer. I have not been impressed with this company’s beer. The beer is a little thin. I think this beer is okay, but there is reallly nothing special about this one.

Mediocracy at its best, not much to say about this, suitable for everday, but certainly not one to brag about.

Rated while drinking: Pours a dark-hued gold with a fluffy one finger white head that isn’t going anywhere. Spicy on the nose with fruits and malts. Not too shabby smelling. Spicy yeasty taste with a great balance of malts and hops. Very pleasant. A bit watery at first, but some bitterness comes in near the end. Very drinkable. Surprised by this one. Very tasty.

Slight apple aroma. Light orange color with a small white head. Mild taste. Finish is very light.
