This is Harpoon's 2nd in its Leviathan series. Which is their "strong" beer label I guess. I tried their first selection a Wheat wine at the American Beer Fest last summer, and it was terrible... so I'm hoping this is better.initial impressions: smells quite hoppy
taste: powerful crisp hoppy start. Malty flavorful middle with still a fair amount of hops. Bitter crisp aftertaste, but not in a bad way.
overall: Great Wow this is an amazing beer. It reminds me of Stone's Arrogant Bastard double IPA with its powerful hoppy start. This however has a much fuller body then the Arrogant bastard. I have to say Im not a big fan of the standard Harpoon IPA, I find it watery, but this double IPA is perfect Its also a whopping 10% abv.
