New Belgium's Rampant Imperial IPA

Whoa! Smack me in the face with a pine cone! It's crazy freakin' mega hop week at IGB beer reviews! For a beer style that often inspires neophytes to utter the words "what's wrong with this beer?" IPA's have gotten pretty popular these last few turns around the sun and if that wasn't enough we get a crowd of über-IPA's to peel the paint off your Pontiac. Rampant pours the color of the inside of an over-ripe peach with a towering thundercloud of a white head. Pine and citrus battle for supremacy on the tongue Some malt sweetness cuts the edge a little...but one per day is plenty...good stuff, but it'll hurt ya.
