Rampage IPA

Tap to rate

Rampage is dry-hopped with Centennial and El Dorado and carries the firm bitterness of a classic West Coast IPA over a smooth malt base, with subtle citrus notes on top. The hop character stays resinous rather than soft and juicy, while the malt keeps the beer from turning austere. At 6.5 % it is stronger than the core IPAs and runs on the rotating taps at the brewery, outside the year-round range.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with resinous hop character from Centennial and El Dorado, presenting distinct citrus notes alongside herbal and piney undertones. Supporting these bright aromatics is a subtle, clean malt backbone that remains restrained and does not compete with the hop-forward profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a smooth malt foundation that provides balance and body without harshness. The mid-palate reveals layered hop bitterness—firm and characterful—paired with continued citrus notes, while the resinous hop character maintains definition throughout rather than softening into juiciness. At 6.5% ABV, the alcohol sits comfortably in the background, supporting structure without intrusion.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
