Short Beer Commentary

Let me first say that I am not a beer expert, I just know what I like and what I do not like.

I had a Harpoon Celtic Ale (an Irish red ale) Saturday night, and these are my impressions: it poured nicely into the glass a deep amber color, with very little head; it had a full nose and a nice bite. However, after a few sips I was unimpressed, and even a little annoyed at how unsatisfying it was, and only finished half of the pint. As you can tell from my lack of rambling, it was unremarkable. If I come across it on tap somewhere I will give it another chance (perhaps the bottle was bad), but for now I'll stick to trusty old standby Killian's.

I'll try for more in-depth entries on a reasonably regular basis going forward.
