A Beer Review: Harpoon Celtic Ale


Irish Style Red
5.4% abv
12 oz bottle
Harpoon Brewery
Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Date Issue: 5-15-2010 Let’s see what happens.

Appearance: Nice reddish amber color with an off-white head

Aroma: Nice aroma of sweet malts, touch of fruit,

Flavors: Here is a nice tasting ‘Irish Style’ red.  A nice touch of caramel and sweet malts that are balanced with a faint floral-herb tea like note.  Those malt grains and yeast notes are tasty. 

I never thought I would give an Irish Style beer an A but, this is good as it comes for and Irish beer. 

Mouthfeel: Good medium body, moderate carbonation, smooth and almost creamy. 
My Strength Rating: 4.5 no lingering notes – clean finish.

A must try. Buy a six pack.
