New Belgium Voodoo Ranger Juicy Haze IPA

20180614:
While at the airport I went to The Silver Bullet Sports Bar and I started off with a taster of this beer. Satisfied with the taster, I went ahead and got a pint of it.

New Belgium Voodoo Ranger Juicy Haze IPA - full glass

It had a sweet smell. The strength of the beer was approximately medium and it had an orange flavor. As the bartender said, the beer is a little sweet. After my third or fourth sip, I considered this beer to be one of the best IPAs I've ever had. It reminded me of the sweet shandies which I have previously tried, except more hoppy with just enough sweetness. 7:54 PM PT

When my food arrived, I decided to finish the beer first, otherwise the flavor of the food would have potentially ruined the flavor of the beer. In any case, the beer was a perfect balance between hoppy and sweet. It had so much flavor, yet every ounce of it was enjoyable.

On a related note, there was no discernible bitterness. 8:09 PM PT
