New Belgium Voodoo Ranger American Haze IPA

New Belgium Voodoo Ranger American Haze IPA.
5 % ABV, 30 IBU.
New Belgium Brewing, Fort Collins, CO.

I remember when New Belgium's name meant something. Now, it seems they just put out IPA after IPA. And this one...is it Hazy? Only one way to be sure.

Clouded, bright gold color, slim white ring of foam.

In the nose: Citrus and pine-forward, all muddled up with the haze, bro.

In the mouth: Big hop bit up front, fading slowly thereafter. Grapefruit, orange and lemon lead the citrus charge. Body's on the lighter side, hop bitterness persists on the palate, but fades in the finish. Stays plentiful in the juicy for the duration.

So, it's not an NE IPA, but it's hazy and a little juicy. An American IPA with the haze. Okay, cool. I like it.

With notes of passionfruit and freedom, American Haze is a supremely drinkable, juicy and unfiltered IPA brewed with all-American hops
