Harpoooooon

Who puts the poon in Harpoon? Oh, I don't know. I *do* know that they make a reliable IPA. It doesn't so much stand out as "whoa, great!" as much as it's a steady B+ beer. That's probably why it's available quite often in local pubs around here in New England on tap. The malt balances the hop amount pretty well in this beer. Not sure that's what I want in my IPA - it's not like some other IPAs where the hops dominate. So that's probably why it's appealing as it is....The flavor is definitely there, it's just not standing out and calling attention to itself. --bri
