This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at New Belgium Voodoo Ranger Juice Force IPA.
Long time fans of New Belgium are aware that they keep pumping out new varieties in the Voodoo Ranger series. This brew was available in singles at the ShopRite next door to my office and once I purchased it I put it away to share with KBJr once he came back from his second year in Yeshiva in Israel.
By my count, this is the fifteenth 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 oversized can which runs less than $3.00 at the supermarket so its got a lot of bang for the buck. And with an alcohol content of 9.5% abv that's quite a bang.
As a final Sunday Night Suds ahead of Pesach, this was quite a beer. The beer is full of fruit - mostly grapefruit and tangerine. KBJr could not believe that this beer was unflavored, but its all from the hops. The beer poured a rich gold with a complex flavor profile that evolved from sip to sip.
The New Belgium Juice Force IPA is under kosher supervision by the Scroll-K/Va'ad of Denver, although there is no kosher symbol on the can (I did verify it with the Scroll-K via e-mail). 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.
