Harpoon is thought for making beers themed or in collaboration with sports activities groups, donut outlets, and extra, however that is our first encounter with Harpoon and its resolution to collaborate with an outdoor-oriented retailer. With Harvest Lager, Harpoon joins forces with L.L.Bean, an over-100-year-old model from Maine that, in case you study nothing else from this overview, has no areas in its official identify.
Whereas a lot of Harpoon’s beers are heavy on gimmickry, Harvest Lager is fairly simple, the principle conceit being that it’s made with malt barley grown in Maine, a primary for Harpoon.
The resultant beer definitely goes down with out criticism, a hearty, amber-hued brew that leans closely on its cereal underpinnings from the beginning. Warming and wealthy, it’s touched with notes of honey and a touch of toasted coconut, although it remainss cracker crisp with its toasted cereal notes from begin to end. Definitely one thing to get pleasure from whilst you’re wading by a marsh, ready in your canine to fetch that duck you simply shot for Christmas dinner.
