Jun 18, 2008 Nice amber color with a tan head. Slightly sweet chocolate malt taste. Not too bad.

Jun 18, 2008 Better than their Munich Dark, but not as good as their standard IPA. Some nice flavors, but not a whole lot going for it overall.

Jun 16, 2008 DECENT representation indeed. unpretentious and straightforward. malt flavors do produce a nice fruity tone. a touch if nutty. lively in carbonation sets everything off well. hearty drinkin’ day brew. mild hop burp is a plus. balance is fairly good it is refreshing and with a lively and decent body. also a fairly good and malty aroma.

May 18, 2008 Pours a deep amber, almost mahogany, into the glass, with a diminished head (from an initial tan fizz). The nose is of too-slight nuts and caramel... a bit weak. There is a mixture of indistinct malts on the tongue, with a semi-dry finish, somewhat nutty (against indistinct). The mouthfeel is light and bordering on watery. Carbonation levels are a bit lively. All-in-all, it lacks any real complexity or character, and "dumbs down" the session brew.

May 12, 2008 Updated: May 19, 200812 oz bottle: Brown "Session" Ale. I’m not too sure if I’d drink this beer over and over again, but Im not a huge fan of brown ales in general. This one was sort of light tasting - with some nut in the aroma and taste. Nothing great.

May 8, 2008 I’m not really a brown ale fan to begin with so I had low hopes for this one. I actually didn’t finish it but no knock on Harpoon - just really not my kind of beer.

May 8, 2008 It’s got a sweet dark reddish brown color and excellent clarity. A small head is formed which quickly fades out. The aroma is light with some floral hop notes. Its flavor is a wonderful mix of caramel, maple, brown sugar, with roasted and toasted malts. All of which are tempered with a pleasing hop bitterness that floats around on the tongue. Its medium body and soft carbonation give it a smooth mouth feel that is very drinkable. Well done!

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.
