New Belgium Voodoo Ranger Special Release Passion Fruit Imperial IPA

New Belgium Voodoo Ranger Special Release Passion Fruit Imperial IPA. 8% ABV. New Belgium Brewing, Fort Collins, CO (and wherever else.)

Hazy, bright golden appearance, beautiful white head, leaving some lace.

In the nose: Tropical fruit. Funk. Tart. Weird. Hops? Hmmm.....

In the mouth: Ah! Sweet, fruity, tart, funky, and, yeah, weird. Fresh, lively. Not much hop bitterness. Okay, there's some. The tropical fruit overpowers it. But I like it. I like it, yes, I do. And the body is medium, the mouthfeel is semi-smooth, fruity, funky. And, still, huh.

I'm not getting the Imperial IPA I want out of this, but if you don't mind your passion fruit being all passion fruity, then there we go.

A double IPA bursting with breezy, tropical flavors. This Voodoo Ranger special release features a hefty amount of passion fruit, which pairs perfectly with the fruity citra and galaxy hop additions.
