Clear and golden with a lacy white head. Pretty mild for an IPA, in fact I thought it tasted more like a regular Pale Ale instead of the usually hoppier India Pale Ale despite the advertised 70 IBU's. It did have the higher ABV, 7% which gave it a nice kick. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to try out an IPA for the first time.

Apparently they lowered the ABV to 6.5%, but the IBUs are still 70. I can't imagine why I thought that this was a mild IPA! It pours a reddish amber, with a bright white head, highly carbonated. In many circles Ranger is considered the standard against which all IPAs are measured. The hops are a balance, no, a battle, among the Chinook, Simcoe and Cascade hops, with both pine and citrus notes. Floral notes round it all out.
Don't settle for run-of-the-mill IPAs!
