Harpoon Rich & Dan’s Rye IPA: Review


Harpoon Brewery
Boston, Massachusetts, USA
6.9% abv
70 IBU’s

After reviewing some rather sweet style beers and fruity type beers it is about time to review a real beer – an IPA. 

Appearance: misty amber body with a big two finger off white head that leaves tons of lacing on the glass.

Aroma: nice rye spiciness, touch of citrus/floral hops, light fruit

Flavors: whole grain cracker, rye spiciness, slight bitterness, earthy grains, touch of pine on the back, hint of fruit

Mouthfeel: light fizzy carbonation, sweet caramel on the delivery, spicy feel right behind hitting the mid and finish, bitterness on the back with that nice touch of pine, slightly oily, lingering twang on the palate, slightly dry feel, good balancing act for being on the bitter side of town

To the Point: to me this is a nice rye IPA, I will buy this again,
