Commercial Description:
Harpoon Brown is brewed to accentuate the sweeter, rounder notes derived from six different malts, including a de-husked chocolate malt that adds a hint of chocolate. The blend of these malts produces a beer that is complex and delicious without being heavy. This drinkable beer is perfect as a session beer or paired with foods.

Very drinkable, but not alot of flavor. I understand the role of a session ale, but really could have used some more flavor and complexity overall. Like a waterier Newcastle.

Pours tea-colored into a shaker. Fluffy off-white head bubbles and pancakes as it slowly recedes. Dried biscuit aromas. Soft, sweet caramel upfront with a lasting metallic finish. Boring.

Nice enough brown, but nothing special. Easy on the tongue and full of nuts, and sweet malt. A tad watery, and not too complex.

Brown with large slowly diminishing tan head. Aroma of caramel with nuts, brown sugar and toasted malts. Taste is more of the same wrapped up in a ho-hum watery body. They may call it a session ale, but one is more than enough.

Reddish-brown colour. Thin head. Slightly smokey, slightly munich malty nose. Fresh craclklin’ grains. Palate is thin, with some light nutty notes and some of that Newcastley metallic taste.

Bottle from six-style mixed pack pours a clear, dark amber color with a tan head. The aroma consists mainly of sweet malts and nuts. Flavor is also sweet mostly malts but a slight hop bitterness in the finish. Not as flavorful as some brown ales but decent nonetheless.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a medium amber with a nondescript thin off white head. Very odd and unexpected mint aroma. Lots of nuts and maple flavors. Mild bitterness and chocolate tastes as well. A good brown ale.
