New Belgium Rampant Imperial Ipa

Rampant pours a bright copper, with a slight sheen of hoppiness. The head is bright, white and lingering. Mango and citrus jump off the nose with fresh cut grass and a certain pine-i-ness. There is a hint of something else in there too, maybe peach. The taste follows suit- stone fruits, citrus and a bold bitterness. The hops are supercharged here (just like that Camaro). There is some lemon peel in the brew, and that comes through, pairing well with the Centennial hops. The hoppy bitterness is upfront, ambitious and wonderful. There is malt in there as well. A mild sweetness that reminds us who made the beer. Rampant is medium bodied, dry, and warm from the alcohol. This beer is top notch. A super great IPA.
