Harpoon Vermont Spruce Tip

#39 of the 100 Barrel Series.

Appearance - golden caramel colored, good head that laces nicely.

Smell - roasted malt flavors, a hint of citrus from the hops and a subtle pine sweetness towards the end.

Taste - strong roasted flavor with definite caramel flavor, not very bitter from the hops and the pine aftertaste is refreshing.

Mouthfeel - slightly creamy at first, but a clean finish.

Overall - a solid offering from Harpoon, much better than their mass produced brews, would definitely drink again. 4/5
