Jul 21, 2009 Draught, gold with a creamy white head. Piney, citrusy fresh hops with pineapples too. Very creamy on the palate with a bitter hop flavor with a hint of alcohol. Overall it’s a pretty good beer.

Jul 21, 2009 (Draught) pours a nice dark gold/orange. Great oily head that stays a long while; lacing is superb. Nose has pineapple hops and is dominated by it. Taste is bitter sweet hops, strong malt backbone that fails to quell the bitter flavors, but it is creamy. Finishes with bitter pineapple and grapefruit. Overall a solid DIPA but a little too bitter for me. I liked it but others do very similar beers better.

7/18/2009: Harpoon Leviathan has a sugary grapefruit aroma. The beer is a clear, golden color with a frothy off-white head. This medium-bodied beer is smooth and tastes like sugared grapefruit with lots of PINE hop flavor heaped on top. There is just enough maltiness underneath to temper the bite of this beer. Overall this is another very sessionable IIPA.
Draught sample(s) at the 14th Annual Indiana Microbrewers Festival in Indianapolis, Indiana. Rating #199 for this beer.

Jul 20, 2009 Bottle. Hazy, copper with a thick, creamy head that fades to peaks. Sharp hop aroma with pine and lemon dominating. Heavy and sweet, with a hop bite. Very high alcohol, which is hidden well in the malt.

Jul 13, 2009 Pours orange with some amber nice 1-2" white head. Aromas of citrus:apritcot, orange and some piney grapefruit with some sweet sugary malts. Candied citrus right up front followed by a rush of bitter hop(pine) and some dark sugar, carmel malt. Pretty well balanced, I think it could be better with a few months cellaring. Enjoyable none the less

Jul 13, 2009 A pretty peach color with a nice sticky white head. Some spice, lots of apricot, plenty of hop citrus, banana. Aggressive palate, lots of bitter hops, lots of fruit and soap on the finish. Not the most balanced IIPA because of the excessive bitterness, but after a few sips you get to the malts and the citrus in the center of the beer.
