New
Belgium Brewing Kicks Off Rotating Series
with Liquid Paradise IPA
By FBWorld Team
New
Belgium Brewing is ringing in 2019 with the debut of a new Voodoo
Ranger Rotating IPA Series. This year, three hoppy brews will
be released under the new line in 12-ounce cans and on draft,
beginning with Voodoo Ranger Liquid Paradise IPA, a delicately
bitter and extremely aromatic IPA boasting a mélange
of tropical notes.
This
series was born out of New Belgium's desire to further experiment
with hop-forward flavors while highlighting the brewery's ground-floor
collaborations with hop producers to cultivate cutting-edge,
experimental varieties.
"The
wonderful aromas and great tropical flavors of Liquid Paradise
can be largely credited to the use of Mosaic Incognito hops,"
said Ross Koenigs, Research and Development Brewer at New Belgium.
"While Mosaic hops are nothing new, the Incognito process
efficiently extracts the aromatic lupulin from the plant material
to offer new layers of flavor and aroma for us to play with."
For
Voodoo Ranger Liquid Paradise IPA, combining Mosaic Incognito
with small amounts of Nugget, Azacca and Munich hops gives this
medium-bodied beer a mild sweetness that propels bursts of guava,
mango, grapefruit and white grape.
Voodoo
Ranger Liquid Paradise IPA, and future releases in this rotating
series, highlights New Belgium brewers' passion for experimentation
and provides a runway for innovation within the IPA style.
"The Voodoo Ranger Rotator series allows our brewers to
engage in playful exploration that can bring entirely new flavor
profiles to the world of IPA's," said Koenigs. "We're
just getting started with this exciting new series. Beer drinkers
should keep an eye out for each ground-breaking offering throughout
the year."
Later
in 2019, watch for Juicifer, a devilishly juicy IPA, followed
by a special crowd-sourced release. More specific details will
be available on the series offerings as selections become available.
