We.like.beer

James and I have been enjoying a nice cold beer quite regularly since having Eden.  She is an absolute joy in our lives, but after her bedtime, mommy and daddy just need a beer.

I've been really enjoying beer since attending some tastings over the past few years, and finally realize that I actually have a favorite!  IPAs (India Pale Ale) always hit the spot with me.  Funny, because I came to this conclusion independently of James, who also loves IPAs.

As we are sitting here enjoying our 'free' time with some beer and Sunday night football, James mentioned that we should be takings some notes on the different brews we've tried recently.  So here it goes...

Great Lakes Brewery, Commodore Perry, IPA -- We tried this last night and wow was it good.  Very smooth finish.  James described it as having a good amount of hop.  One of my top 5 IPAs so far.

Bell's Brewery, Two Hearted Ale, IPA -- This is our FAVORITE.  Mine for sure, and James said it's definitely his favorite IPA.  James said he doesn't have enough adjectives to describe this one.  Great hops.  "Crispy, very hoppy, I don't know"

Harpoon, IPA -- This is what we are trying tonight.  There was a good sale on it at Giant Eagle, and what inspired us to just start trying all of them.  It's "okay".  We both don't have a strong opinion on it.  James said it has a good aroma and a tart taste.  A good bite but I don't care for the aftertaste as much.

We need to develop some more descriptive terms if we're going to learn anything from our experiment!  Looking forward to seeing what's next!

Happy 3 Months, little Eden!

and GO BUCKS! (they need all the help they can get)
