Sunday Night Suds - New Belgium Voodoo Ranger Future Hop IPA


This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at New Belgium Voodoo Ranger Future Hop IPA.

Devotees of the fine craft brews originating from New Belgium are aware that they keep pumping out new varieties in the Voodoo Ranger series. This brew was included in a six pack can box which $11.99 in the better priced stores, but I was able to purchase a single. By my count, this is the fourteenth Voodoo Ranger that New Belgium has released. Previously reviewed Voodoo Ranger brews include:

V2K IPA (reviewed at https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2021/10/sunday-night-suds-new-belgium-v2k-ipa.html);

Atomic Pumpkin IPA (reviewed at https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2017/10/sunday-night-suds-new-belgium-voodoo.html); and 

the first - the Voodoo Ranger IPA (reviewed at https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2017/02/sunday-night-suds-new-belgium-voodoo.html).

The newest addition to the Voodoo Ranger series has an interesting set of hops (Lotus, Strata, and Nelson Sauvin). Like all the other Voodoo Ranger IPAs there is some fruitiness, but this seemed more subdued than what I have come to expect from a Voodoo Ranger.

Similarly, although the alcohol content is 8% abv (which is high on the Voodoo Ranger scale) there is no significant alcohol flavor.

This beer was a passable accompaniment with leftover night, but it does not have the hop bite of many of the better beers in the Voodoo Ranger series.

The New Belgium Voodoo Ranger Future Hop 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. 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. Many of the "sours" such as the Peach Kick which was released over the summer cannot be certified kosher.
