From the brewer

RUMBLE IPA is an American IPA with subtle nuance. Brewed with heavy handed additions of Pacific Northwest hops, this beer is gently aged on French and American oak resulting in a wonderful balance of bitterness, caramel sweetness, vanilla, and undertones of pine and citrus. Very inspiring.

Who's been drinking this

The aging softens the edge of the hop flavors (resin, pine, et cetera) making them far tastier. Finishes with a nice oakiness.
Bottle at Pool
Good as IPA go but am not a big fan.
I like it more than most IPAs
Wet woodish smell. Simple cereal body not very complex. Narrow profile bitter that lingers briefly.
Fairly pine-woody scent, although not quite as pungent as some IPAs can get. Fruity roundness with a bitter bite that is strangely mellowed by the other-bitterness of the oak. Sometimes, two wrongs do make a right, I guess?
