Name: Harpoon IPA
Brewer: Harpoon Brewing (Boston, MA)
Classification: American IPA
Alcohol: 5.9%
Thoughts: I had Harpoon's Leviathan Imperial IPA on last week and I am having their regular American IPA tonight. Let's see how it differs from the Imperial IPA. The color of this beer is a somewhat cloudy amber-gold color, and it has a two-finger slightly off-white head that laces nicely. Harpoon IPA's nose has a decent hop aroma up front, some sweet citrus consisting of orange, pineapple, and tangerine in the middle, and a bit of pine on the end. Additionally there are notes of caramel sweetness. The taste is full of grapefruit, lots of grapefruit. It's not really all that bitter though, so it almost captures more of the sweet side of the grapefruit taste. The mouthfeel is foamy, with a lively sense of carbonation, but not the slightest bit syrupy. All in all a pretty decent beer.
Rating: 83/100
