Mongoose IPA (bottled) - 3.7

Mongoose IPA
India Pale Ale
Hale's Ales Brewery
Seattle, WA
ABV: 6.2%

Jon:
This beer is dark... with floaties. Never had an IPA with floaties. Smells wonderful, has a huge orangey-citrus nose with hints of something nutty. Very malty, wonderfully spiced... totally weird for an IPA. But I like it anyway. A lot.

3/5 9/10 4/5 8/10 4/5 3/5 8/10

Mark:
Remember that soft drink with the weird snotty floaties in it? This is like the beer equivalent, but it is very nice. (It was called Orbitz, and no, the floaties were not like this. -Jon) More malty than most IPAs, but still lots of hops with a depth that some IPAs lack.
