New Belgium 1985 IPA

New Belgium 1985 IPA.

6.7 % ABV, 30 IBU. New Belgium Brewing, Fort Collins, CO.



Clouded and hazy. Bright yellow color, large and lasting ivory head. Looking good. 

In the nose: Pineapple and passionfruit in charge, citrus (lemon, orange, minor grapefruit) just behind. 

In the mouth: Repeat of the aroma, now on the palate. Sweet and juicy, ultimately ending dry. Hop bitterness is low on this one. Pineapple bomb. Medium bodied, long, fruity finish. Tasty stuff. 

Good ol' tropical juicy/hazy and you can drink it. 

Like totally loaded with juicy mango flavor, 1985 takes you back to the future of Hazy IPA's. Buckle up!

Citra, Simcoe, Cascade hops
