Voodoo Ranger Fruit Force

The Voodoo Ranger IPA series of beers produced by New Belgium Brewing has been a very good run of craft beers. This edition to the series is referred to as a fruit punch IPA. At 9.5%, this imperial can pack a punch (pun intended). The beer pours a lovely and somewhat dense golden color with a nice head formation. The aromas are definitely juicy and reminiscent of Juicy Fruit gum. The flavor profile is pretty much the same as the aromas. Though not overly sweet, it reminds me of Juicy fruit gum mixed with Fruity Peebles and topped off a bit of sharpness at the back end from the high alcohol content. For a craft beer produced from a giant distributor (Kirin Holdings Company is the parent organization), it is very well done. Not my favorite in the series but a nice drinker for sure.
