Opponent: Pike IPA
Pike Brewing Co.

Player: Harpoon IPA

Team: Harpoon Brewery

Player Stats: The pronounced hop aroma and the deep copper color make an immediate sensory impression. The aroma is floral, distinctly different from the herbal, spicy, or “cut grass” aromas of other hop varieties. Harpoon IPA has three malts, adding toasted and malty flavors. Along with the third malt, a 2-row pale, there is an abundance of fermentable sugar to be converted into alcohol, which accounts for the relatively high original gravity. These sugars ferment fully and leaving no residual sweetness. The high hopping is not only noticeable in the nose but especially in the finish. The lingering bitter finish of this beer is not harsh or astringent, but crisp and pronounced. It has a floral nose with a medium body and an aggressive, clean hop finish.

ABV: 5.9%
