Smells a lot like hops. Not very well balanced though. Strong hops up front. I’ve had much better samples of IPA’s.

cant believe I have not rated this one. bottle poured a golden color with a one finger head of white froth that does try to pull off the lace. aroma has sweet malt, bitter citrus hops, and a touch of minerals. mouth feel is light with average carbonation. flavor has a nice hop blend lending both bitterness and pine twangs. light citrus hits and a sweet malted core lend to something pleasant and easy to drink.

clear amber color, medium white head, lacy. hint of citric hops, trace of caramel in the nose. flavor of caramel, citric and pine hops, but a touch mild. medium bodied, decent bitter finish. a pedestrian IPA, a touch to smooth and mild. six pack purchased at liquor depot in monee.

Eh this was a pretty weak IPA. It wasn’t bad, but nothing really stood out...............Harpoon definitely has some better beers out there. LC

Pleasant aroma with not a lot of hops on the nose, Light amber color is nice and mirrors the taste which is solid. Not overwhelming amounts of hops as you’d expect with most IPAs. Nicely drinkable. Good for summer evenings.

Bright orange with a nice, white foam that takes some time to dissipate. Sweetish grapefruit hops. Big and bright. Crisp and aromatic. Cascade hops all over this. A good, whole tongue dryness.It repeats deliciously and the tingly little carbonation carries the dryness right back. Not a bad beer at all. In fact it is a lovely, if typical, US IPA.
