Grim Reaper's Eulogy
Some things were meant to last. This should be one of those things. Glacier Harvest '09 Wet Hop Ale comes to us from Harpoon's 100 Barrel Series. This is "session 28" as the label states. And as the sessions come in the 100 series, they also go as well.
The hops are so alive in this ale. The ale also yields a fine balance of malt character alongside the hops. The alcohol is modest at 6.7 ABV; not overwhelming. The 38 IBU's is spot on producing that hops warmth and pop. As stated before, this should be around for a long time, but alas, it's not the fate of this fine ale.
A glimmer of hope...they named it with an '09, so.....perhaps it will be run again? We can only hope and wait. See if you can get some to stash away until then.
