Jan 11, 2003 A very solid beer, with a steady delivery of floral hoppiness with enough malt base to keep it from being overpowering. Cannot compare to west coast offerings, however. On par for an east coast ESB.

Dec 28, 2002 Great hop/malt balance. Hops stay in backround until swallow, which shares mellow caramel finish. Caramel sweetness is a nice balance.

Dec 17, 2002 this beer poured with a really nice/ fluffy head that laced the glass to the end. solid beer, but not as hoppy as most ESB.

Nov 5, 2002 I really enjoy this beer. It is not that bitter and doesnt have that much of an aftertaste. The best of the Harpoon beers so far.

Oct 28, 2002 Decent ESB. Nice malty background with a good amount of hops but not enough for my liking. Also not enough bittering hops but still good. Nice and smooth and easy to drink.

Oct 5, 2002 Nice head and nice lacing. Nice malt nose with a slight sweetness in the taste and a nice hop presence in the finish.

Sep 8, 2002 Fruity floral nose. Golden orange hue. Nice white head. Starts off nice but completely lacks depth. Sweet malts and light hops, but no finish at all...I would expect something a little better from these guys.
