New Belgium Announces a New Sessionable Voodoo Ranger: American Haze

I brought you an early peek, and now this from New Belgium:

Supremely drinkable, juicy and unfiltered IPA brewed with All-American hops for National Release

(Fort Collins, CO – February 21, 2020 )– New Belgium Brewing announces its newest launch of the Voodoo Ranger brand series, American Haze, a 5% ABV IPA built to enjoy anytime and anywhere. American Haze is brewed with all-American hops, boasts supreme drinkability, and is available now nationwide. This marks the first in the current year-long Voodoo Ranger collection to have an ABV lower than 7.0%, to give beer drinkers the ability to enjoy the freedom to have one more as this hazy India Pale Ale is highly sessionable.

“American Haze was a fun challenge because we wanted to get all of the great attributes of a Hazy IPA but deliver it in a more drinkable format. We played around with a lot of different formulations and eventually landed one that has a big juicy hop aroma and a well-balanced body that makes the beer feel like a hazy, but highly drinkable,” said Ross Koenigs, Research and Development Brewer at New Belgium.

Voodoo Ranger American Haze was brewed and canned with the following characteristics:

• Alcohol 5% ABV

• IBUs: 30

• Style: American-Style Hazy India Pale Ale 

• Hops: Dry-hopped with Strata, Amarillo, and HBC522 (known for its exceptional and unique aromatic qualities) 

• Malt: Pale, Munich, C20 and Malted Oats

• Visual: Hazy 

• Flavor and aroma: Malty sweetness, a medium-dry finish with notable passionfruit.

• Availability: Nationwide early January 2020 in 12 oz cans and on draft
