Great Divide Rumble Oak Aged IPA

So, apparently yesterday (August 2nd) was IPA Day.  Who knew?  Certainly not me until i went to dinner at a local brew pub and was informed with a flight of 5 different IPA samplings.  And, while they were all great, the one that stuck out the most was the Rumble Oak Aged IPA from Colorado's Great Divide Brewing Co. For an IPA, it was a pretty mellow beer.  The hops were definitely there, but there was also slight vanilla and caramel flavor from aging in the oak barrels.  There was also an undertone of citrus.  All in all, quite a delicious beer, and a perfect pairing for bar food and a hot summer day.

Visit the brewer.

Visit Black Star Co-op (the aforementioned local brew pub).
