Harpoon Celtic Ale

Harpoon Celtic Ale, Harpoon Brew Co, Boston, Ma

This ale has a chestnut, gold-ish color and is almost transparent. A thick, light-brown foam develops at the top of the glass, but retreats quickly. Almost in the same way, as the taste of this beer. It is very light and there are notes of malt, hops. Of course it also tastes bitter, it still is a beer. But there is also the taste of soap that comes in your mouth. A beer in the style of the good, irish ales, as Smithwicks, or Murphy's red: It goes down well and doesn't bother you with a strong taste. This is a beer you can drink many from on a good evening. But then of course, you could drink Irish beer, which is the same, but better tasting...
