Description
It all started in 1986. Sure, many things have changed since the early days of Harpoon, but much has stayed the same. We still love brewing beer and enjoying it with friends.

In July 2014, Harpoon became an employee owned company, with 48% of the company given to employees through the establishment of an ESOP. An E-what? ESOP stands for Employee Stock Ownership Plan. It is a mechanism by which a company contributes to its employees’ retirement by allocating shares to them which it repurchases…..yadda, yadda, yadda… Here’s what it means: we are employee owned, we are an independent craft brewer, and you bet we’re damn proud of it.

Bottle. Cloudy, dark gold, amberish color. Surprisingly small head for a wheat type beer. Aroma and taste is artificial raspberry taste. Not really great.

Bottle. Golden in color with a small head. Actually smells better than it tastes. Aroma is like a gingerbread cookie. Taste however, like a gingerbread cookie dunked in beer. Not so good.

Bottle. Should be a fruit beer. Deep gold in color. Aroma is mostly just fruity mango. Taste is somewhat better. Has a pleasant mango taste without being overly sweet.
