The Bottom Line

This is a really great American IPA. So many US brewers pack their IPAs with Cascade hops for a very citrusy aroma and flavor. Harmon takes a different approach and brews a very special india pale ale.
Pros
  • Great aroma
  • Well Balanced
Cons
  • Weak head

Description

  • Style: IPA
  • ABV: 5.8%
  • Bitterness: Very hoppy but correct for the style. Well balanced.

Guide Review - Tasting Notes and Review of Harmon Brewing Point Defiance IPA

The beer is copper colored. The one I was served had virtually no head. The aroma is hoppy with spicy and floral notes. This continues in the flavor where the hops meets a fine malty balance. The flavor has depth and lingers wonderfully in the mouth. This is truly an excellent IPA.
