| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | May 7, 2008 It tastes like a weaker version of their Munich Dark. Not much taste, kind of fizzy. Some typical nut brown taste, but really light bodied and watery. Would not be that great as a session beer as the label says. bigrond (1055), factoryville, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 21, 2008 I thought this was a good brown ale. It has a very nice mouthfeel. Smooth and sweet. Caramel flavor with heavy malts. Harpoon is looing better with every beer I try. PilsnerPeter (2667), Flushing, New York, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Apr 20, 2008 Bottle: Brown pour with an off white film for head. The aroma is sweet, with a bit of caramel and brown sugar. Pretty boring though. Light mouth feel, with a restrained malt character. Sweet with a cheap caramel malt flavor and a bit of a metallic hint. Kind of lacks character. durhambeer (1233), Durham, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 7, 2008 Definitely on the lighter, sweeter, more tea-like brown. Closer to Newcastle than say a Dogfish Indian Brown, but perhaps that’s not so surprisingly. Light caramel, brown sugar, sweet tea, malt. Okay. fishingnet (1047), Brandon, Florida, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 3, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear deep amber with a small short lived white head that fades to a ring and leaves minimal lacing. Aroma of light caramel and a hint of roasted malt. Taste is the same as aroma with the roasted malt being a little more pronounced. Medium thin mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness. Good. Collint (465), Sylva, North Carolina, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Mar 24, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear amber with light head. Notes of sweet caramel and nuts. Great carbonation, very clean beer. BuckeyeSammy (456), Cleveland, Ohio, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Mar 23, 2008 Serious session beer. Not complex at all, just crisp and enjoyable. Thin palate, a little watery on the end. Nate (2569), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Mar 23, 2008 Bottle courtesy of my father-in-law. Nice fresh hoppy, grassy nose with a bit of caramel. Medium brown clear with thin off-white head. Medium-light body with medium carbonation. Dry nutty character from start to finish. Light caramel with a bit of acidity. Light dry bitter finish with som nuttiness. OK session but I’ve had better browns.
