Can. Hazy gold in color with a two finger head. Aroma is citrus and spruce. Taste is a little too bitter for me. Bitter all the way through.

Perfectly clear golden and peach coloured body with a thick, slightly soapy tan and off-white head that stays afloat for a while. Aroma of fresh piney and grapefruity hops with a nice pungent bitterness and some softer beeady and yeastie scents, as well as some caster sugar nnotes, but the hops are definitely noticeable here. Medium-bodied; Strong rich grassy, herbal and floral notes show through everything with a lot of hop bitterness noticeable and some light grainy and malt finishes this off, but the pungency is there from the hops and alcohol with a light grapefruit and piney bite at the end. Aftertaste shows the deep hop bitterness with a pretty nice balance of malts, sugars and alcohol, but the hops are strongest, along with some metallic and piney bite and twang at the end. Overall, a nice and robust beer, but while it isn't hazy at all, it definitely doesn't show any juicy components or citrus, it's all about the bitterness and punch. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Harris Teeter in Arlington (Columbia Pike), Virginia on 17-October-2020 for US$1,87 sampled at my house here in Washington on 11-November-2020.

Evergreen aroma. Flavor is sweet malt with typical IPA hoppy bitterness and citrus. Typical for a hazy IPA.

Not bad, offering up intense veins of papaya, pineapple, melon, and coconut, with a surprisingly firm bitter back end and tangible booze. A tad harsh; not pillowy at all. One of the better Voodoo Ranger brews.

Hazy gold pour. Hoppy aroma with lots of tropical fruit. The hop led flavor has tons of tropical fruit and a big malty body. It's moderately bitter and full bodied, an excellent hazy IIPA.

Drank from a Panda at home like a cunt, thanks to SHIG, 29/12/20. Moderately hazed golden orange with a decent just off white head. Nose is bitter orange, grapefruit zest, pine resin, light mango, tickle of hop spice. Taste comprises orange pith, faint lime zest, grass, pine needle, melon, mixed tropical fruits. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close spiked with balanced juicy hop bitterness. Decent enough easy drinking DIPA.
