Harpoon Ginger Wheat
THE POUR: Pours a clear pale gold with foamy head. Small bubbles of carbonation float to the surface as the head settles to a thin later.
THE AROMA: Greeted by the sweet aroma of honey. Strong scent of ginger, awakening the nose.
THE TASTE: The taste is of a mild wheat beer at first, with the ginger appearing boldly towards the end of a sip. The ginger obscures any other flavors, almost overpowering.
THE DECISION: I like ginger in foods, and I now know I do not like ginger in beers. Lots of potential, but I can’t get past that single flavor.
THE GRADE: B-
This beer is #29 in Harpoon’s 100 Barrel Series, a limited production of specialty beer styles.
