Harp Lager

Pros: It's OK
Cons: It's OK

Help-ma-Boab! - There's no other way to put it. When I went to the pub a few weeks ago, all the 'Real Ale' taps were off. Sacre Bleu! No flippin' decent ale to sup. I had a couple of bottles of Becks, but those dinky bottles just wont ...

Pros: Crisp, Hoppy Flavor
Cons: High price

Brewed by the Harp brewery in Dundalk, Ireland, Harp lager is a very good beer with just enough body to satisfy your desire for a full- bodied product, yet light enough to keep you from feeling too full and bloated.

Harp has a golden straw...

Pros: Rich, flavorful
Cons: Seems easily affected by other beers

This will no doubt be a convoluted review.

As an Irishman - or at least half an Irishman endowed with the beer-drinking abilities of two Irishmen - I desperately wanted to say that Harp was at least the equal of Bass Ale. In fact, I wanted to...

Pros: Better than most of the 'brewed under licence' lagers
Cons: Not what you would call distinctive

Despite the impression you get from Epinions the United Kingdom produces a goodly number of beers, in fact a goodly number of good ales. It is therefore rare that I am to be found drinking lager, but if I do I avoid the 'brewed in the UK' Carlsberg,...

Pros: A decent crisp and refreshing lager
Cons: There are better lagers for the same price

Now, when I first thought about writing this review, I was pretty sure that Harp was not always Irish. I read around a little bit, but could find nothing to back this up. I always thought it was a traditional English lager. I believe, it’s just the fact...

Pros: slightly more hops than most lagers; goes down smooth
Cons: weak, watery, generic taste; too highly carbonated

I’ve never quite understood the appeal of generic lagers, but obviously there must be something about this type of beer since it’s brewed around the world and most have the same general taste. In the United States we have Budweiser, Miller ...

Pros: Clean, Fresh, and Irish
Cons: Price?

I had never tried Harp before. I'm not entirely sure why either. I tended bar in an Irish pub, for pete's sake. I have been attempting to expand my beer horizons for a few years now, and poor Harp just seemed to have slipped through the cracks. My...

Pros: Classic Irish Flavor...Ice Cold & Refreshing
Cons: Price

Real Men Love Harps…

In the pantheon of great import beers, Guinness and Bass come to mind, Harp is one of the less appreciated but still worthy members. With a gorgeous golden color, hops flavor and smooth body, it has everything that...

Pros: Crisp, refreshing lager with just a touch of delicious bitterness.
Cons: It's pricey, and it ain't easy to get a hold of either.

I had heard about the greatness of Harp lager for some time, and the other week I finally decided to grab a 6-pack and decide for myself. Needless to say, I was not disappointed.

Harp Lager is brewed and imported by the good people from...

Pros: Nice bubbles, can actually taste the hops
Cons: pricey

To be quite honest, I have never understood why Irish beers enjoy the reknowned status that they mysteriously have. I have sampled beers from all over the world, and I would rate most Irish beers closer to the bottom of the list than to the top....

Pros: Mixes real nice with Guinness
Cons: A "con" is a negative thing, right?

I am still not sure how it all started, but there we were, out in the alley walking toward my apartment, me soaking in beer.

"Ach, tis a 'orrible wey tay end tay dey" I said.

Duende looked over at me and told me to shut the hell up,...

Pros: superb taste, full body without great weight
Cons: neither ubiquitous nor inexpensive in the U.S.

I've always been the sort of person to try one or two new brews whenever I'm in an establishment that offers some unfamiliar selections. However, I had my first pint of Harp Lager at a bar on my 19th birthday (I'm 27 now so I believe the statute of...

Pros: Potent taste for a lager, no aftertaste, musky
Cons: How many days left to March 17th

There's nothing like a half-n-half a.k.a. an all-Irish Black and Tan. A base of Harp Lager topped with a perfectly foamed Guinness--and preferably not ice cold. The two tastes were clearly created to be enjoyed together.

Harp is a fine...

Pros: High quality taste
Cons: Availability

I have a lot of guy friends who swear by Guinness beer, and will ONLY drink that when we go out. For me, though, 1/2 pint of Guinness and I'm ready to call it a night. While obviously a high quality beer, it's just too heavy and thick to enjoy as a...

Pros: Good Texture
Cons: BE RESPONSIBLE, DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE.

Before proceeding, if you are under 21 in the United States, you know the rules. Be responsible and please follow them.



Let's just say that I've done a bit of research on this before stating my epinion.

I treat most...
