10.28 - Harpoon #46

Nice to get free beers from time to time from a local shop.


Harpoon 100 Barrel Series -#46 Hoppy Belgian Style Blonde
a 6.5% ABV  53 IBU Belgian Blonde-style ale.  A hybrid of the nose of a Belgian White and a Triple.  Strong esters and grassy hops.  Not a ton of complexity to the nose, nor the body..  this is a straight-forward "Belgian blonde" that's hopped up.. exactly as the name says.  Banana, close, Belgian yeast with tropical esters and a floral hoppy bite.  There once was a time when the 100 Barrel series made some standout beers.. but if you're aiming for 100 unique beers, there's bound to be some duds.  

- - 6 Hops!
