Week 4 - June 2008 
This week’s feature beer could be the “beer of the week” every week. The Harpoon Brewing Company has breweries located in Boston, MA and Windsor, VT. Both locations create an outstanding Summer Beer.
Summer Beer is a Kolsch style ale. Originating in the Rhineland city of Cologne (Koln), Kolsch ales have the characteristics that many people associate with lager beers. Kolsch is brewed with an ale yeast, but like other northern German light ales, it is straw gold in color and light bodied. The flavor is mild. The hopping levels provide a crisp, dry finish that makes this beer particularly refreshing.
Harpoon Summer Beer is a beer brewed to be enjoyed with summertime activities. It is light, refreshing, and crisp.
The overall character is light and refreshing, with a crisp, dry finish.
