Pineapple is the name of the game in this latest bottling from New Belgium’s Voodoo Ranger series, a tropical-focused brew that is indeed as juicy as its name would suggest — almost to a fault, at times, its ultra-fruity body leading one to think fondly of their last trip to Hawaii. At the last second, though, Juicy Haze shows its hop hand, where loads of Citra, Cascade, Centennial, Simcoe, and Nugget hops give the beer a classic IPA bitter intensity.

It’s not so much balanced as it is double-sided, with each face wholly worthwhile.
