on THE TAPHANDLE

Mongoose IPA by Hale's Ales

After a day of working outside—cleaning gutters, organizing the shed, and general yard work—this IPA was a wonderful treat. It was nice and bitter, with hints of vanilla and cream (vanilla cream, perhaps?). The very slight sweetness was a nice juxtaposition to the prevalent hops. This ale was a great "meal mate" for homemade tacos that the wife, the child, and I prepared together. If this is my reward then please send me out to work in the yard more often.
