You have to give New Belgium credit as they keep pumping out new varieties in the Voodoo Ranger series. This particular brew was included as part of a mix box and is also available in a six pack can box, although I have not seen that pack here. By my count, this is the eleventh Voodoo Ranger that New Belgium has released. Previously reviewed Voodoo Ranger brews include:
1985 IPA (reviewed at https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2020/11/sunday-night-suds-new-belgium-voodoo.html);
Xperimental IPA (reviewed at https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2020/08/sunday-night-suds-new-belgium-voodoo.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).
This is a pumped up Voodoo Ranger IPA as the alcohol content is on the high end at 8.5% abv. This is typical of an Imperial IPA, but I can't remember a Voodoo Ranger that was this high. It has mango and a bit of citrus, but the alcohol flavor is also prominent. There is some bitter and bite, but the beer is a complex sip and quite enjoyable.
The New Belgium Voodoo Ranger Higher Plane IPA is under kosher supervision by the Scroll-K/Va'ad of Denver, and their symbol is on the bottom of the mix twelve 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.
