154. Harpoon IPA


You think I would only have beer the day before a wedding?  Of course not!  This was the second of two beers I had before my old roommate's wedding.  I figured I'd be the only guy there drinking something that was an IPA.  

Just like the Yuengling, the beer was served in a 12 oz bottle, so I can't judge appearance.  IPAs typically have more aroma, so I was able to get a soapy hop aroma.  Didn't do too much sniffing after that.  In the taste, I found more floral hops, with a little bit of piney hops.  A slight bit of malt sweetness in the finish, the bitter bite isn't too bad.  Moderately carbonated with a light-medium body.  Maybe it would taste better out of a glass, but I found this to be slightly above average.  Too many good IPAs out there, and this one didn't stand out.  Agree or disagree?  Just let me know!

Grade: C+
Price Paid: $4.00 (12 oz bottle)
