New Belgium Rampant Imperial IPA: Review

New Belgium Brewing
Fort Collins, Colorado, USA


Imperial India Pale Ale
8.5% abv
1pt 6oz bottle
$4.99

Appearance: fairly clear orange body with a one finger (if that) white head that leaves lots of lacing on the glass.


Aroma: very aromatic; citrus – pink grapefruit and orange; hint of pine; touch of malts

Flavors: aromatic tropical flavors with a nice touch of herbal; grapefruit salad with a piece of pineapple and orange; some dusty malts

Mouthfeel: bitter grapefruit; pine; sweet grapefruit; fine fizzy carbonation; slight alcohol warmth on the finish; bitter tropical notes linger on the aftertaste


To the Point: a pleasing Imperial IPA; nice tasty bitter/aromatic hops;
