Harpoon Brewery Of Boston Introduces ‘The Long Thaw’

More new brews news, this time from Harpoon Brewery, a craft beer maker based in Boston, Massachusetts. They've just released their new seasonal called, "The Long Thaw". Even though I haven't tried it, I love the name.

So, what is "The Long Thaw" all about? Here's a brief product description form harpoonbrewery.com:

"“Spring” in New England is a fickle friend. So we brewed a beer that could carry us through the January cold while hinting at warmer days ahead. With notes of orange peel and coriander, the soft mouthfeel of a Belgian wit, and an intense hop profile, The Long Thaw White IPA combines the warming backbone of an IPA with citrus notes indicative of the coming spring.
