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 thirteenth Voodoo Ranger that New Belgium has released. Previously reviewed Voodoo Ranger brews include:

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 is a hop forward, major juicy IPA. The hop bite comes from Cascade, Centennial, Citra and Simcoe. The malts are interesting because in addition to the Pale and Caramel malts, there are also White Wheat and Malted Oats.
The juiciness of the IPA is a cross between grapefruit and some other citrus that I can't put my finger on. The alcohol content is only 6.8% abv which is low on the Voodoo Ranger scale, but there is a decent alcohol flavor which I presumed that if I had more than one of, I would not be in driving condition.
This beer went well with stir fry, but the flavor profile would be even better with charred steak.
The New Belgium Voodoo Ranger V2K 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.
