I’ve only tried a dozen or so hazy beers but I have noticed that I like some bitter backbone along with the late hop charge.
if the only hops are whirlpool, the finish is a bit weak for my taste.
I haven’t tried Voodoo Ranger but have never been disappointed with New Belgium beers.
Thanks everyone for the recommendations!
I agree! While I cannot say whether or not that is akin to the original style, I have found this to be my preference as well. So far, I've found Hazy Little Thing to be my favorite thus far. I can say that the "Voodoo Ranger Juicy Hazy IPA" lacks the bitter backbone you speak of, at least it does to me. It's still good, but I now prefer a bit more hop bitterness to go along with the higher citrus content of this style. I suppose an NEIPA purist may call this blasphemy. I guess I don't yet know exactly what a true NEIPA is since they all seem to vary a bit between some bitterness and some not.
