297. New Belgium Brewing Company (Fort Collins, CO) - Voodoo Ranger Higher Plane

“Higher Plane IPA achieves the perfect balance of delicately bitter flavors and tropical, juicy aromas. Channel your inner haze.”

Doesn’t really taste bitter at all, even when you factor in the high alcohol (8.5%). Definitely some nice pineapple going on there, with a little bit of papaya underneath. Very smooth finish. Tastes like they brewed it sweet with the intention of balancing that sweetness with the alcohol.
