Great Divide Rumble IPA

Great Divide Rumble. Oak aged IPA. Denver, Colorado. 7.1% ABV



Served chilled in a pint glass. Pours a very clear, amber color with a thick and frothy two finger foam head. The smell is oaky, bready and malty. The taste is the same as the smell, with an earthy component and a hint of citrus. The taste is the best part of the experience. The carbonation is medium-low and the beer is surprisingly light feeling for a 7.1% ABV. The beer almost tastes watery at the beginning but you get the flavors after a second or two. However, the aftertaste is not my favorite. I cannot really describe the taste, but the best thing I can say is that I want to drink another sip to get rid of the aftertaste.



Overall, this is a decent beer that got a few parts right but not the whole picture. If you're looking for a good oak aged beer, try Stone's Oak Aged Arrogant Bastard instead. I probably won't buy this one again, but I still will be on the lookout for more Great Divide products.



80/100
