I went searching tonight after work for the GD Collette which seems to be going fast around here. And for good reason. But that's another story and beer review to come soon. Tonight I want to talk about the Rumble IPA that just hit the stores as of this week. I'll admit I didn't have very high expectations from GD for a few years strong. I just didn't think the beers were that great. But ever since the Yeti series has been available, probably much sooner than that, I have been smitten by what the brewers have been producing. The Rumble is an IPA worthy of much appreciation. Deep in caramel flavors with a subtle hit of hops. I know, it's an IPA that should be big on hops. But this is more than likely due to the barreling process. Regardless, I personally don't care whether it's an IPA, BPA, RCA, or an MCA (nod to Yauch). It's delicious. The vanilla hits are so nice. And very smooth as well. I hate to use the term 'friendly' but it is a beer worthy of satisfying those afraid of bigger beers as well as hoppy ones. The nose is vastly different than what goes down the gullet. Barley-ish when dipping your nose into it and then the aforementioned vanilla and caramel when going down. Not bad.cheers
