Right from it's introduction in the summer of 2002, Hale's Mongoose IPA has been enthusiastically received by hop-head fans throughout the Northwest. Nearly 50 pounds of hops are used in making this flavorful beer, including an abundance of Amarillo leaf hops.The end result is an IPA with a wonderful aromatic hop bouquet, a pleasant hop bitterness with citrus overtones and a deliciously round and lingering aftertaste.
