Description:
Harpoon IPA is an interpretation of the classic English style using hops and malt grown in the United States.
The high hopping of Harpoon IPA is not only noticeable in the nose but especially in the finish. The lingering bitter finish of this beer is not harsh or astringent, but crisp and pronounced. This is created, in part, by dry hopping – a technique that involves adding fresh hops to the conditioning beer to provide a fresh hop aroma.
This beer is floral, medium body with an aggressive, clean hop finish.

Outstanding IPA. May be hard to find depending on where you live. Obviously more common in the NE. I have found it as far south as DC. If you do not have this beer in your neck of the woods (and if you enjoy IPAs), then I highly recommend you try it when you come across it in your travels.

Some upfront sweetness followed by a hoppy bitterness, moving into light floral tastes with the bitterness lingering on parts of the tongue.

A very nice clean IPA with a good balance of floral tastes and bitterness from the hops. Definitely an IPA that I could enjoy.
