New Belgium Brewing Releases Whizbang, A New Spring Seasonal
It’s the time of the year for Spring Seasonals to be hitting the marketplace and New Belgium Brewing has a brand new beer that will be on store shelves any day now. Whizbang is a new hoppy blonde ale from New Belgium that will be available now through March in 12 oz. bottles and on draft.
Described as bursting with Mosaic hops riding atop a malty backbone, Whizbang is a sessionable spring beer. The light and refreshing ale has a soft malt base, with vibrant notes of mango, lemon, blueberry, and pine thanks to Mosaic, UK Admiral, and Centennial dry-hopping.
“Whizbang offers a blast of hops, thus the name, yet it’s still crisp and quaffable,” stated Bryan Simpson, media relations director for New Belgium, in a release. “It’s hoppy complexity and balanced drinkability makes it a great go-to beer for the late winter and early spring season.”

Style: American Blonde Ale
Malt Varieties: Pale, Caramel 80, and Munich
Hop Varieties: Nugget, Simcoe, UK Admiral, Mosaic, and Centennial
