The Story: Launched in 2017 as a modern revamp of New Belgium's hop-forward lineup, Voodoo Ranger IPA quickly became the charismatic, skeleton-mascot-led face of the brewery's IPA portfolio. Seeking to capture the evolving palate of modern beer drinkers, the brewers pivoted from the aggressively bitter IPAs of the past to focus on a brilliantly balanced, flavor-forward profile. Brewed with a mix of pale and caramel malts to provide a solid backbone, it owes its signature character to a dynamic dry-hopping process featuring a blend of Mosaic and Amarillo hops. This careful calibration extracts maximum tropical and citrus aromas while keeping the bitterness remarkably smooth and approachable at 50 IBUs.

Why You'll Love Me: It is a beautifully balanced, modern IPA that walks the line between classic West Coast pine and contemporary fruit-forward juiciness. It pours a bright, clear golden-amber in the glass with a persistent, frothy white head. The nose instantly bursts with an inviting bouquet of juicy grapefruit, sweet mango, and a distinct hit of fresh pine needles. On the palate, it delivers a medium body with a crisp, refreshing bite. Instead of overwhelming the taste buds with harsh bitterness, a toasted biscuit malt sweetness elegantly anchors the vibrant tropical and citrus hop flavors, coasting into a clean, brilliantly snappy finish that leaves you immediately ready for the next sip.
