Harpoon IPA





Harpoon brewery was started in 1986 in Boston and after many successful years, it opened up another brewery in Windsor Vermont. There slogan is, Love Beer. Live Life. Harpoon.


Now on to the good stuff, IPA or India Pale Ale was originally brewed during the height of the British Empire for the troops stationed in India around 1993. This beer is an American IPA, which is more flavorful than the English IPA. The high gravity and incresead hops act as natural preservatives. The beer has a copper color with good carbonation and decent head retention. Its got a floral smell and you can really get the aromas given of by the hops. The taste of the beer is very earthy and has a strong taste of hops.

Price for a 6 pack - $8.99

ABV - 5.9%

I think it is pretty cool that you are taking the time to see where the beer orginated and what it is about.
