Nov 7, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a thick white head. Aroma is quite malty with some iced tea notes. Flavor again has the iced tea notes with sweet, sugary malt. Hardly any hop notes really. Just very sweet, malty, and bland.

Nov 7, 2009 Bottle. Aroma of sugar and sweet malt. Flavor the same with a light hint of hops. Way too sweet with nothing going on. Blech.

Nov 7, 2009 Head has to go away before any aroma emerges. Pale malts, a mild citrus / cat-piss hop. Strangely like a hefeweizen. Not great in the nose: lagery.
Pours a clear carrot orange with a massive merange of snow-white head.
Flavor is like a lager with an extra citrus hop. Hop is fruity, but malt is weak. Banana. Very disappointing that they skimped with such a weak malt that tastes like it’s filled with adjuncts. A fruity aftertaste.
Feels watery but not in an unpleasant way. Just weak, as the beer is as a whole. Unfocused. Not unpleasant but the hops are the only thing to salvage it. A hoppy lager-type.

Oct 31, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear copper orange body with small white lacing. Aroma is slightly bitter and candy. Taste is refreshing hop, smooth flavor hop.

Oct 30, 2009 Bomber pours brilliant clear copper with decent enough looking off white head. The aroma is cotton candy, soft hop spice, orange flavored hard candy and back ground of sugary malt sweetness. The taste begins with cotton candy, orange flavored hard candy, spicy hops, a bit of grassiness and a touch of resiny hop bitterness. Supporting the hops notes is a modest layer of malty sweetness. Pretty nice.

Oct 28, 2009 Not much of an aroma, just light citrus. Poured a vibrant ruby color with a decent sized off white head. Decent flavors of citrus hops, but it was overpowered by the malt. Overall this was an okay APA, it was just a bit unbalanced. The hops weren’t nearly as strong as Harpoon suggested they were going to be.

Oct 28, 2009 (Draught) Poured amber and clear with medium sized and white head. Grassy aroma wasn’t as strong I would’ve liked. Palate was dry bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours the beer had were malts, hops, grass and bitterness. Flavour ended to bitter aftertaste. Hops were too hidden.
ElDuderino (136), Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, USA
Oct 26, 2009 Bottle, pours a light golden with a fluffy white head. Nose was dusty and sweet smelling, like sugar and wet tree branches. Pallate was sticky, literally and tacky and too reduced or something. I love resiny piney IPAs but this beer drank like simple syrup. Flavor was citrusy and sugary with a distinct wet leaf quality. I’ll pass.
