New Belgium Ranger IPA

I kept getting told how great the Ranger was from New Belgium and I kept putting off until just recently 4th of July weekend. I haven't been impressed with a lot of New Belgium stuff since they started mass producing Fat Tire. The only slam dunk is their 1554 that I reviewed. Love it.

That being said this is a decent IPA. A very boilerplate IPA. A very serviceable IPA. Nothing over the top but definitely enjoyable.

This one isn't floral. Mostly pine with a decent bitterness. A little lemon citrus in the backend and it sticks with you. Good finish. Definitely worth a sixer since it is cheaper than most "craft" IPA's. Can't really call New Belgium craft anymore in my opinion except for their experimental stuff.
