Rumble IPA
12 oz bottle. Appearance: Clear orange. Thin head. Some pretty damn fine lacing. Smell: A lot more oak than I expected. Citrus, earthy, grassy, slightly vegetal hops. Sort of a mishmash. Doesnt really smell good. Taste: Much better than the smell. Strong green oak flavors. Bitter hops and dry oaky bitterness. Hops flavor drowned by oak. A little caramel malt. Mouthfeel: The strong oakiness is drying on the tongue. Appropriate carbonation. Dry finish. Drinkability: I had this on draft and the oak was much more subtle. On draft it was a malt forward IPA with hints of oak. This is a messy oak beer with otherwise muted and obscured flavors. No thanks.
