In one of my most recent trips to the beer store I saw that they had the New Belgium Voodoo Ranger American Haze in six packs at 8.99 (a very decent price for Voodoo Ranger products) so I jumped at the opportunity to add it to my cart.
By my count, this is the eighth Voodoo Ranger that New Belgium has released. Previously reviewed Voodoo Ranger brews include Voodoo Ranger American Haze IPA (reviewed here https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2020/03/sunday-night-suds-new-belgium-voodoo.html); Voodoo Ranger Hop Avenger IPA (reviewed here https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2019/12/sunday-night-suds-new-belgium-voodoo.html); Juicifer IPA (reviewed here https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2019/11/sunday-night-suds-new-belgium-juicifer.html); Juicy Haze IPA (https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2018/02/sunday-night-suds-new-belgium-voodoo.html); Imperial IPA (https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2017/10/sunday-nigh-suds-new-belgium-voodoo.html); Atomic Pumpkin IPA (https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2017/10/sunday-night-suds-new-belgium-voodoo.html); and the first - the Voodoo Ranger IPA (https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2017/02/sunday-night-suds-new-belgium-voodoo.html).
This beer poured a mid-dark gold with impressive foam and lacing. The first smell was citrus, but it was not a one note citrus as it had grapefruit and tangerine notes, along with some pine. The beer had some bite, but was not as strong as I expected and the 7/7% ABV seems overstated. Mrs KB found this beer to be enjoyable and if you have a spouse that knows and appreciates an IPA, you know that you have found a good one. (She never reads my blog anyway).
As far as I am aware, this beer is only available in six packs of cans, which seems to be a trend for the Voodoo Ranger. Its not a hard and fast rule as New Belgium does produce a seasonal mix box which usually includes one Voodoo Ranger, but its just one kind.
The New Belgium Voodoo Ranger Starship 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.
