New Belgium Brewing Voodoo Ranger 'Juicy Haze' IPA Beer, Colorado

Tropical fruit, bright citrus, and fresh hop aromatics lead with an expressive, juicy intensity over a soft, hazy frame. New Belgium Brewing Voodoo Ranger 'Juicy Haze' IPA Beer combines five hop varieties with wheat, oats, and London Ale III yeast to build generous fruit character while retaining a smooth finish. It reflects New Belgium’s long-running emphasis on brewing innovation, expressed here through the hop-forward and deliberately approachable style of the Voodoo Ranger family.

Sensory Description:

Bright tropical fruit and citrus dominate the aromatics, with layers of ripe stone fruit, orange, grapefruit, and subtle resinous hop character. The palate is juicy and full-flavored, while wheat and oats contribute a softer texture that rounds the beer’s 42 IBU bitterness. Citrus and tropical hop notes remain vivid through the mid-palate, with enough structure to keep the fruit-forward character focused. The finish is smooth, gently bitter, and refreshing despite the beer’s substantial 7.5% ABV.

Brewer's Background:

New Belgium Brewing was founded in 1991 by Kim Jordan and Jeff Lebesch and developed from a small Fort Collins brewery into one of the most influential names in American craft beer. The company became known for combining Belgian-inspired brewing traditions with experimentation, environmental initiatives, and an employee-centered business culture. New Belgium became a wholly owned Kirin subsidiary in 2020 and today operates within Kirin Holdings’ U.S. beverage business. Voodoo Ranger, introduced in 2017, developed into a broad family of hop-forward beers, with Juicy Haze joining the lineup as an expression focused on tropical aroma, citrus character, haze, and soft drinkability.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve at approximately 7 to 10 degrees Celsius in an IPA glass or tulip to emphasize its tropical aromatics, citrus character, and soft texture. Pair with spicy fried chicken, tacos, burgers, grilled pork, curry, buffalo wings, sharp cheddar, or other dishes that can match its fruit-forward hops and moderate bitterness.
