    Harpoon brews this exclusively for Legal Seafood Restaurants. Old Salt Ale presented very pale and straw-like in color with a soft foamy head. It had a moderate licorice nose and after-taste that was reminiscent of the Fisherman's Friend cough drops of old - not a brew I'd bet on being in high demand anytime soon.

    While in Cambridge I ate at a Legal Seafood restaurant and saw this beer in their half dozen or so selection of beer on draught. Curious by the name, I ordered a point. The bartender was quick to ask me if I wanted it served with the traditional salted rim and slice of lemon, or just plain. Being a little weirded out by the salt, I asked for just the beer. The body and flavor of this was pretty weak. Unfiltered, it had a pale american wheat color almost similar to lemonade. The aftertaste had a very strange almost licorice flavor to it. Thought not quite gross, I didn't care for it at all.
