373. New Belgium Brewing Company (Fort Collins, CO) - Wild Ride

“To celebrate our 30th Anniversary, we brewed a special, hop-forward tribute to our beloved Fat Tire. Dry-hopped with Mosaic, Galaxy, Idaho 7 and Sabro, Wild Ride has a decidedly American-style aroma that rolls right over malty-sweet and fruity amber characteristics. It’s a perfect reflection of the last 30 years—totally recognizable, a little unexpected, and easy to love. What a wild ride it’s been.”

Tastes pretty light for 7%, with some nice stone fruit and citrus up front, and a little bit of pine resin on the drier back end. Feels less aggressive and more straightforward than the Voodoo Ranger series.
