I've enjoyed all the Harpoon beer's I'd had in the past, (mainly the UFO), but this summer I had an opportunity to get down to their brewery in Boston and participate in a tasting session.
I liked most everything they offered, not so much on the really light stuff or their summer ale, but the UFO, the Dark, their Cider, all great.
However, they had something new on tap for us to try...
They've just recently entered into the world of big beers and launched their Leviathan series. They had their second stab at it for us to try, called Triticus. Delicious wheat-wine type ale. I grabbed up a Growler of the Triticus and the Dark to bring back to vegas and share with my beer friends.
The Triticus is delicious, but it's no joke. Super smooth but a way overwhelming taste but very good. If you're into big beers and have the opportunity, check it out.
Any other harpoon fans?
If you're ever on vacation in Boston, I suggest you stop by the Brewery and grab some samples and maybe a few growlers fresh off the tap. Or, if you see their beers in stores, give em a go. Sadly, they don't distribute any further west than Chicago at the current time, they're running at capacity and can't brew enough to meet demand.

:laugh: I think ,in general, we're lucky here in New England. We've got some good breweries.
