Rumble IPA surprises with subtle nutty flavor

Rumble IPA

When I hear about an oak-aged IPA, I think back to the origins of the style, with casks of hoppy ale stored in a ships' holds sailing to quench the thirst of British soldiers.

It's not everyday that I use the words "subtle" and "nutty" to describe an IPA. Usually, I like my IPAs on the sweet, aggressive and hoppy side. But Rumble challenges my assumptions on the style.

Joe's Pilsner ain't your grandfather's Pils

Joe's Pilsner

To be honest, I can't remember the last time I drank a Pilsner before I tried Avery's Joe's Premium Pilsner. There are times when all you want is an easy-drinking beer and Joe's fits the bill to a tee.

It pours a creamy white head with a light golden-yellow body with decent lacing. It's got an unmistakable Pilsner taste upfront, but there's a nice dose of hops to finish it off. The hops are strong enough that they stay around for quite sometime, but aren't overbearing.

Raging Bitch is raging good

If you're curious as to what Flying Dog's Raging Bitch Belgium-style IPA tastes like, take a sip of a Belgium beer, then chase that with an IPA.
Ragin' Bitch has my senses fighting each other. My nose, and the front of my tongue say, "This is a Belgium beer." While the back of my mouth says, "Holy hops! This is an IPA."

Pliny the Elder

The bottom line is this: If you're a hophead, you'll like this beer.
From the moment you crack open a bottle of Russian River's Pliny the Elder, you are in hop heaven. The sweet and hoppy aroma is one of my favorite things about this beer.
It pours a dark yellow, not quite amber, liquid with a substantial head.
