May I have a beer May 17th Harpoon Rye IPA

Harpoon do a pretty good range of beers I liked Rich and Dan's Rye IPA but it was kind of one note to me however it was a good note so I will forgive it.
It is 6.9 ABV so Not a session beer but not too high to enjoy in as they say moderation. It did leave flavour in my mouth but not a strong unpleasant one like some IPA's get the reputation of doing. Yes Dan an Rich keep doing what you are doing. Beer is an art and you are artists. I may not always like all of your art but I respect your talent and to be honest most of your work is very tasteful.



Official word:
This beer is brewed with hops, a variety of malts, our proprietary yeast – the same yeast we’ve used since first brewing Harpoon Ale – and more hops. A lot more hops. Centennial and Chinook, and the dry hop addition of Falconer’s Flight add a multidimensional hop character, and the combination of Pale, Rye, Caramel 60, and Vienna yield a complex malt body that stands up to the spiciness of the rye and the pronounced hop flavor.  

TASTING NOTES

  • Aroma: citrus, fruity aroma with an underlying spice note
