Rampage Imperial IPA
Appearance: Pours a cloudy apricot color with several inches of foam; decent lacing Smell: Hop forward aroma, with an catty character redolent of hemp and pine Taste: A bit of sweet malt, up front, and then we are off to the races, with a really bitter, vegetal combination of hemp and pine, that moves into the cat pee direction by mid-palate; the cat pee really dominates the finish Mouthfeel: Medium to full body with moderate carbonation Overall: Truly a hoppy West Coast style DIPA, but I am afraid that I just can't cozy up to the hop profile on this one; I prefer more citrus to my IPAs Thanks, PretzelCity, for the opportunity
