This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at New Belgium's Wild Ride Amber IPA.
As frequent readers of this blog may recall, New Belgium has been rolling out new beers under the Voodoo Ranger line at a rate of one per quarter. But other than the Voodoo Ranger IPAs, New Belgium has not been producing very many new beers. So I was a bit surprised when I saw the Wild Ride in its own six packs. (I later learned that it is also available in the Variety Pack).
The good folks at New Belgium have introduced this beer to celebrate their 30th Anniversary as "special, hop-forward tribute to our beloved Fat Tire. Dry-hopped with Mosaic, Galaxy, Idaho 7 and Sabro, Wild Ride has a decidedly American-style aroma that rolls right over malty-sweet and fruity amber characteristics."
I tried this by itself as well as with Sunday Night grilled dinner and it was quite enjoyable. The beer is a slightly light IPA, but there is a fair amount of bitter in addition to the malts. The Wild Ride indicates that it is 7% abv, but there is no heavy alcohol taste.
The New Belgium Wild Ride Amber IPA is under kosher supervision by the Scroll-K/Va'ad of Denver, and their symbol is on the bottom of the six pack can box as well as the twelve pack mix box. However, not every brew produced by New Belgium is under kosher supervision, so look for the Scroll K on the six pack holder or box when considering purchasing any NBB product.
