Great Divide Brewing, Rumble, 7.1% oaked aged IPA, 12oz bottles
A: Dark orange with bright amber hues, creamy white head that fades very fast
S: Woody/oaky, vanilla, and sweet caramel malt with subtle hops. Citrus- lemon, and resinous pine dominate the hop profile.
T: Oak is present but not overpowering, vanilla is present, malt adds a mild sweetness but there is citrus notes of orange and grapefruit and of course that prototypical dry IPA finish.
M: Medium bodied, crisp, sharp, and very smooth
D: Overall it’s a solid IPA. The oak and the sweet malts do a great job of balancing this beer. It resides some where between an IPA and a DIPA with flavor, characteristics, and being 7.1% (7.5% starts DIPAs)
Pairings: Tri-tip add Scallop, Bone Marrow, Burger, and Smores
