Harp Lager
Brewed by: Harp Brewery
Brewed at: Dundalk, Ireland
Type: Lager
5%A/V
First Impression
A very handsome can. Clad in the blue hue often seen on a chrome exhaust manifold. Brewed by the makers of Guinness... My already high expectations have been shunted skyward. Looks typically lageresque...
First Sip
Nicely chilled. Tastes reasonably like a lager might. It has the echo of a fresh quality which is more often seen in locally produced draught beers. Decent late hop bitterness.
Halfway
A nice blend of beer traits found in western lagers like Molson Canadian but with the metallic bitterness often found in eastern bloc lagers and various pilsners. Pretty good so far.
Bottoms Up
Not as good as it's prominent stablemate Guinness but not exactly pond water either. Harp Lager is genuinely quite good. It's a lager that anyone who likes beer will very likely be satisfied with.
79/100
