Harpoon Brewery - Summer Style

Harpoon Brewery - Summer Style

Harpoon Brewery - Summer Style

  • Bottle Size: 12-oz
  • Style: American Blonde Ale
  • ABV: 5.0%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 26
  • Serving Temperature: 42-47º F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Mandarina Bavaria, Sterling, Hallertau Melon
  • Malts: Pale, Wheat, Munich, Vienna, Carapils
  • Country: United States

Inspired by blonde ales, hazy New England-style pale ales & IPAs, and keller köslch, a traditional hazy style predating the more modern crystal-clear filtered köslch we commonly think of today, Summer Style pours a moderately hazy golden orange color topped by a robust head of just off-white foam. On the nose, look for lots of lightly fruity and herbal notes with many subtle complexities including hints of lemon, tangerine, and sliced honeydew...

Carib Brewery - Key West Pale Ale

  • Bottle Size: 12-oz
  • Style: American Pale Ale
  • ABV: 5.0%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 40
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Citra, Cascade, UK Fuggle
  • Malts: 2-Row Pilsner, Simpsons Crystal Light
  • Country: United States

Key West Pale Ale presents a medium amber-orange color, capped by a fluffy off-white head. On the nose, look for the hops to jump out right away with prominent citrus notes, backed by secondary floral tones, some orchard fruit impressions, touches of grass and earth, and slight hints of woodiness. Some mild crackery and bready malts lurk beneath. Those malts seem to come through a bit more prominently in the flavor, offering light caramel and...

Harpoon Brewery - Rec. League

  • Bottle Size: 12-oz
  • Style: Hazy American Pale Ale
  • ABV: 4.0%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 35
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Pale, Oats, Wheat, Copper Carapils
  • Malts: Mosaic, Simcoe, Citra
  • Country: United States

Pouring a hazy golden straw color capped with a bright head of foam, Rec. League certainly looks the part of a hazy pale ale. Harpoon designed this beer to be a super-sessionable, low-ABV brew that would invigorate and refresh the imbiber with welcoming hop character, and they have certainly made something compelling and unique, incorporating unusual ingredients, namely buckwheat kasha, chia seeds, and sea salt. On the nose, look for the hops...

Carib Brewery - Sunshine State

  • Bottle Size: 12-oz
  • Style: Amber Lager
  • ABV: 5.0%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 30
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Pilsner Glass
  • Hops: Hallertau Mittelfrüh, Northern Brewer
  • Malts: 2-Row Pilsner, Carafoam, Caramel Pils, MFB Caramel Munich 60
  • Country: United States

This amber lager has pulled in several awards for Florida Beer Company over the years, including gold at the 2015 and 2013 US Open Beer Championships and bronze at the 2011 Great American Beer Festival. Sunshine State pours a lightly hazy medium amber color with a fluffy head of beige foam. On the nose, look for a healthy dose of Hallertau and Northern Brewer hops to offer up a pleasant noble hop aroma conjuring grass and hay-like notes...

Harpoon Brewery - Juicer

Harpoon Brewery - Juicer

  • Bottle Size: 12-oz
  • Style: New England IPA
  • ABV: 7.2%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 50
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
  • Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass or Pint Glass
  • Hops: Citra, Mosaic, Azacca, Galaxy
  • Malts: Pale, Wheat, Oats
  • Country: United States

This hazy IPA from Harpoon uses a relatively new technique called “dip hopping” in which (in a very small nutshell) hops are added to cooled wort prior to fermentation, and the process can dramatically increase perceived fruity and tropical hop expression while limiting more resinous and piney notes. Pouring a hazy golden hue with a persistent head of off-white foam, Juicer presents a good appearance and a good aroma. Look for lots of luscious...

Harpoon Brewery - Harpoon IPA

  • Bottle Size: 12-oz
  • Style: English-style IPA
  • ABV: 6.0%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 48
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
  • Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass or Pint Glass
  • Hops: Cascade, Chinook, Apollo
  • Malts: Pale, Caramel, Victory
  • Country: United States

Harpoon first brewed this IPA in 1993, and it’s become a regional New England classic. But don’t confuse it for the more recent style of “New England Hazy IPA”; Harpoon constructed their Harpoon IPA as an English-style IPA, but featuring American hop varieties to add a definite American character. On the pour, we get an attractive copper hue with excellent clarity and a robust head of tight-bubbled foam that laces nicely as it drops. Juicy...

Carib Brewery - Hurricane Reef

  • Bottle Size: 12-oz
  • Style: American IPA
  • ABV: 6.5%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 58
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
  • Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass or Pint Glass
  • Hops: Centennial, Mosaic, Citra, Zeus CO2 Extract
  • Malts: 2-Row Pilsner, Great Western Crystal 60, Flaked Oats, Best Malz Munich, Best Malz Acidulated
  • Country: United States

Hurricane Reef pours a bright and clear copper-amber hue with a large cap of off-white foam that persists well and laces the glass as it drops. We picked up big notes of citrus zest in the aroma, evoking impressions of tangerine, orange, and grapefruit, along with secondary tropical notes reminiscent of mango and passion fruit, along with a bit of peach character. Those fruity hop notes come through boldly on the palate too, with juicy citrus...

Hijos de Rivera - 1906 Reserva Especial

  • Bottle Size: 330-ml
  • Style: Helles Bock / Maibock
  • ABV: 6.5%
  • Serving Temperature: 40-45° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Flute, Pilsner Glass, Mug
  • Hops: Perle
  • Country: Spain

This Helles Bock from Hijos de Rivera presents a true to style medium amber hue with crystal clarity, topped with a plentiful head of off-white foam that laces the glass as we drink it down. On the nose, look for a blend of malts and hops, leaning more towards the malts. We picked up central toasty, bready notes augmented by moderate caramel tones and a bit of nuttiness, and all overlaid by a dash of earthy and lightly spicy hop character...

Hijos de Rivera - 1906 Black Coupage

  • Bottle Size: 330-ml
  • Style: Dunkel Bock
  • ABV: 7.2%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 27
  • Serving Temperature: 42-47° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Snifter, Wide Flute
  • Hops: Nugget, Sladek
  • Country: Spain

The term "coupage" is used in the wine world to refer to the blending of wines to make a finished product. Hijos de Rivera uses the term here to refer to the mixture of four traditionally floor-malted Czech barley malts which they use to brew this excellent lager. Pouring very dark brown – approaching black – with reddish flashes, 1906 Black Coupage offers up a wonderful aroma. Look for richly bready notes with toast, touches of licorice, raisin...

Calicraft Brewing Company - Ursa Major – The Great Bear

  • Bottle Size: 750-ml
  • Style: Imperial Dark Ale w/ Rooted Coffee Co. Coffee
  • ABV: 10.0%
  • Serving Temperature: 45–52° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Snifter, Goblet
  • Country: United States

The Calicraft Ursa Major can be enjoyed now or cellared for years to come. We suggest stashing some away for two to three years, but recommend checking in on a few bottles every six months to track its maturity. For pairing options, definitely look to chocolate and/or coffee infused desserts with fresh black fruit and berries, espresso rubbed beef roasts, blackened cajun chicken, or your favorite backyard bbq. It’s also complex enough to...

Brasserie de Blaugies - Bier Darbyste

  • Bottle Size: 750-ml
  • Style: Farmhouse Ale Brewed with Fig Juice
  • ABV: 5.8%
  • Serving Temperature: 45–50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Pint Glass
  • Country: Belgium

The Brasserie de Blaugies Bier Darbyste can be additionally aged for up to one year, but is drinking very well now. It is delicious when served with ultra soft cheeses like triple-cream Explorateur, produced in the Ile de France region of northern France, or Rubens, a semi-soft cow’s milk cheese named after the famous Flemish painter. We also recommend it be paired with fig jam and crostini on a charcuterie platter.
