You probably have realized I have a particular fondness for India Pale ales. Bitter is better as I say. IPAs also have the added bonus of having a respectable alcohol percentage. Great flavor, satisfying on the taste buds, and gets you good and buzzed – what more could you ask for?
Harpoon IPA does not disappoint. It is hard to tell if it is my favorite IPA or merely in the top three favorite. It is that good. A bouquet that I can hang my nose over for minutes. Full of floral and citrus overtones, like the aroma of freshly harvested hops flowers.
The initial taste is very refreshing. A crisp, sparkling feeling on the back of the tongue. Those aromatic overtones come out strongly in the flavor. Subsequent sips reveal increasing pleasure as the flavors intensify and fully develop.
While this beer might not bring me closer to heaven (or in believing in one), it certainly tastes like heaven and I’ll be enjoying Harpoon IPA for times to come!
