New Belgium Rampant

Is it just me or does this stuff taste like watermelon?

 

[timrox1212]

Which one? I've tried fat tire, ranger, and trippel. All really good no watermelon taste.

It's a brand new IIPA called Rampant.

I heard good things. Been looking for it!

It's not bad, don't know if I would buy it again though.

I just picked some up today. Ill give it a try here in a couple of hours or so.

How is this stuff? I just threw a sixer in the fridge.

Yuk! No hops..very bready... 0 citrus..straight up nasty. I'm lucky to get a tingle on my tongue after I try to swallow it. IMHO

Had a pint of Dig last night off a tap... very good...

I wonder if I had a bad sixer or something? Mine tasted like wet hay or straw.

Was excited to try this one. Fairly disappointed. This stuff isn't that good. The wet hay description above is a good one for the after taste. I will choke it down, though.

I enjoyed it I got more of a peach flavor from it. I'm not sure but I thought the peach flavor came from the yeast. But what do I know. Over all I thought it was great on a hot day.

One of my new favorites......It's a bit thin but the hops really come through because of the light body.......since you mentioned watermelon, I can get a bit of that in the aftertaste although maybe a bit more grapefruity.

I got some peach as well, which I'm thinking comes from the Mosaic hops as I've heard others have experienced peach flavors with Mosaic hopped beers.

I'm not a huge hophead, but overall I thought it was good. I'd buy it again if my local brew shop didn't have so many different beers to try.

To me it tasted like cologne. Wasn't sure how I felt about it...

 

[355Newell]

I tried it at a beer tasting event at a ski lodge about a month ago. I like it, I would buy it if i could find it locally. Then again I tried many a brew before it too...

 

[Devin]

Maybe I got a bad batch or something? I don't see how any body could like this stuff....
