New Belgium Captain Dynamite IPA

New Belgium Captain Dynamite IPA.

7.7 % ABV, 45 IBU. New Belgium Brewing, Fort Collins, CO. 

Clouded, golden hued, bright white head, and some odd particulates floating about, settling at the bottom of the glass. Not especially attractive, that last part. 

In the nose: Popping with tropical fruit aromatics: passionfruit, papaya, pineapple, mingle with orange and lemon. Sweetness sticks out some, but it's a balanced and likable nose altogether. 

In the mouth: Boom, starts it off with sweet, fruity, tropical, with just a twist of bitter. Mild bitterness treads lightly on the palate and hangs in for the long haul. It's a good ol' IPA that tastes like an IPA. Medium bodied, smooth, easy consumable. Good ol' IPA and you can drink it.

This IPA was the winner of the Vote Voodoo Campaign. 

Locked, stocked and fully hopped. Captain Dynamite showcases bold tropical fruit flavors. Dry-hopped with Mosaic, Simcoe and Cascade hops adding full aromas of pineapple and guava.
