Sampled at SBWF, 2007. Golden with a small, white head. Swett amlty and rather hoppy aswell. Pretty fresh but somewhat thin.

I hate IPAs. Having said that, Harpoon’s offering is one of the most pleasent, balanced, refreshing IPAs I’ve come across. I made the mistake of allowing it warm a few degrees warmer than I normally do and the difference was surprising. Grape and citirus flavors come out in a well balanced union with the hops finish. Well done.

12oz. bottle into pilsner glass. Pours a clear, copper color with a light white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is of grapes and citrus fruit with a hint of hops. Flavor is of grapes and hops with a vanilla finish. Mouthfeel is crisp and refreshing. Could use a little more hop flavor, but one of the better more "generic" IPAs

Available at any bar in MA. Great goto IPA. Not too bitter for those who cant handle the stronger IPAs, but still a great flavor. Will enjoy many more times.

Smells wonderfully hoppy, sour hops. Pours a hazy pale copper color with a nice thick foamy yellow head. Taste is a little weak and watery, notes of hops, no sourness with it. I’ve had much better IPAs

Big hop boquet, flowery. Thin white head atop a medium amber brew. Very dry unripe grapefruit flavor. Almost astringent. Some flowery rose like flavors int he back ground, very dry finish.
