Imperial India Pale Ale
A burly and bitter Imperial IPA, Rampant pours a pure copper and carries the sheen of a rightly hopped beer. The Mosaic and Calypso hops bring stonefruit to the front seat, and the addition of Centennials nod towards citrus for a well-rounded aroma.
The taste expands these hops with heavy peach tones and a profoundly bitter bite. There is some malt sweetness to stand this beer up, and Rampant’s finish is bone-dry.

Pours clear, golden, bit of white foam leaving white and sticky lacings. Carbonation is persistent but does not create too much extra foam. Aroma is sweet and fruity, somewhat high viscosity already in the nose. Fresh and grassy. Taste hits you with full on hop presence. This is intense! Tropical fruits that are dipped into hop sugar glazing and made into a beer. Intense resiny taste that lingers and ends up quite dry. Alcohol is well hidden with the hops. I guess that some sugars are left unfermented as there is huge sweetness also - but compared with hops that is not much and feels dry. Bitter beast, definitely enjoyable.

Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a vibrant dark golden color with a huge foamy yellow-white head that lingered and left excellent lacing. The aroma was tangy and sweet with pine and honey. The flavor was tangy and sweet pine, resin, sugar, caramel and honey. Long pine, resin and caramel finish. Full bodied. Well done.

12 ounce bottle. Bright orange color topped by a frothy beige head that slowly dissipates to leave a lovely clinging lace. Aroma brings notes of citrus fruit, peach and pine needles. Bittersweet toasted caramel malt upfront. Spicy complex hops abound in the middle, with hints of citrus, cedar and stone fruit. Finishes bone dry and bitter. A wonderful DIPA.

355ml bottle. Pours a clear golden with an average, frothy, long lasting, white head that laces. Weak hoppy, grapefruit aroma with pine and grass. Sweet fruity flavour of grapefruit, peach, caramel malt, grass and pine with a dry, bitter, resiny finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation.

Tap at Watering Hole. Clear deep orange with a medium-sized off-white head. Orange marmalade all over the nose with lots of caramel, toffee and biscuit and honey. Taste is fairly sweet and malty with some piney hops. Finish is fairly sweet with some spiky bitterness. Heavy body with a sticky mouthfeel. Not bad, but a little too sweet.
