Sunday Night Suds - New Belgium Voodoo Ranger Hop Avenger IPA

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

This "beer" was released during the summer as part of the Voodoo Ranger series. As is typical for the Voodoo Ranger series, the beer is brimming with hops and packs a significant alcohol punch.

The Hop Avenger IPA is made with Nugget, Mosaic Incognito, Ekuanot Incognito, Jester, Chinook, Citra and Mandarina Bavaria hops. Like most Voodoo Ranger offerings of late, it is tasty and fruity, although this is more pineapple like than citrusy. The beer pours a cloudy rich orange and has lacing which stays on the glass for some time and very fragrant foam. It has a high abv for a standard IPA (7.7% abv) and there is a slight alcohol flavor.

Although not as outstanding as the prior Voodoo Ranger offering (Juicifer - reviewed here -http://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2019/11/sunday-night-suds-new-belgium-juicifer.html) it is quite delicious in its own right. This beer goes well with most spicy fare and would also pair equally well with mixed meat salads.

I have only seen this beer in six packs of cans and they are usually sold at a premium price. Still, if you can find this beer you should grab it as it quite good.

The New Belgium Voodoo Ranger Hop Avenger 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.
