Ranger
The 'Ranger' pours a clear medium golden with a hint of orange into a pint glass with half an inch of dense white foam. Head settles to a thin cap and yields fairly good lacing. Fairly hoppy nose of pine and earth. Slightly sweet and a bit of orange in back. A bit too much of a musty/hemp odor to linger, yet not so offputting so as to deter much either. Spicy and with a light grainy texture in flavor, bit of citrus. Dry and grainy on the finish which is rather brief. Nice moderate body and with a good level of carbonation which keeps the feel and flavors throughout the pour. Fairly drinkable though a bit coarse and dry for me. A different take than most an attempt and not quite up my alley, but a decent offering from NB.
