Comments: Harpoon’s version of a Belgian Trappist ale is golden, a bit cloudy, and effervescent. The aroma is clove and musty grains. The taste is a mix of bananas, apricots, and spices. The beer leaves not lacing and the head evaporates quickly as does the bubbles. It’s an okay beer, but seems like it should do more to live up to its Trappist heritage.

Comments: Another product of the Harpoon 100 Barrel Series celebrates a recent trip of staff to Germany. This beer is a reddish-brown with lots of carbonation looking all the world like a root beer. The aroma is sweet too, chocolate with some fruity hops. The flavor is chocolate too, but the hop bitterness makes it a dark chocolate rather than a sweet chocolate. A nice treat.
