Harpoon Brewery's Session 28: Glacier Harvest '09 Wet Hop

I find Harpoon to be a solid brewery, but nothing terribly sexy. Something like St. Arnold's. Good, but no real standouts when compared to the likes of Rogue, Great Divide, North Coast, and similar breweries. Hopefully one of their bigger beers will change that impression.

Pours clear and a bit weak compared to the Sierra Nevada wet hop series.

Smells about the same. Just a bit hollow.

And I guess paying more for a bomber isn't a guarantee that a beer is going to be better. Their regular offerings are far better than this one, which tastes like it looks and smells--weak for a wet hop in a limited and supposedly bolder series.
