Harpoon IPA from Harpoon Brewery
Rating: B+
Appearance: Lighter in color than i was expecting, golden color, very nice head, clear. leaves lots of lacing as you drink.
Smell: hops presence isn't overwhelming, but it's there. yeast and malts come through too. hops are kind of floral, not very aggressive. soap?
Taste: more hoppy than I remember it being the last time I tried it, but since it was following Smuttynose IPA that night I'm not surprised. An IPA balanced for sessionability. Hoppy, yes, but not an assault on the taste buds (however welcome it may be!). Fruitier than your typical AIPA.
Mouthfeel: aftertaste lingers, carbonation is good.
Drinkability: Goes down easy. Drinkable, sessionable, better than I remember.
Serving type: bottle
