New Belgium is by far, my favorite brewery. My "go to" beer for the last three years has been their Imperial IPA, but I'm drinking Juicy Force right now, and I can see enjoying this in the hot, summer days. Also. I'm getting mostly tangerine from my taste buds on Juice Force.

[@HopsAndBrews]

Nice, you check out the latest Fruit Force? Like tropical punch version of Juice Force. I like juice force better but still good

Love all of the Voodoo Rangers I’ve tried. Juice Force ties the imperial IPA for me. Only reason it doesn’t win is the imperial has a little more bitterness which I like sometimes

NP man, I really enjoyed this one a lot

[@Astral_Dusk]

Reminds me of a mimosa actually! Not far off, sans the champagne bubbles and dryness. Ok, but it's still a beer and a force of hazy ipa juice all over the flavor indeed. Pretty sure they use "Natural Flavors" orange extracts often found in flavored waters with zero cals. I think it's hops and orange zest fusion - innovation perhaps? It's a wild ride of a beer, be prepared and responsible! 9.5% abv for the jet take off :D

[@HopsAndBrews]

Yup, yea at that point of adding so much additional flavors if that really makes it a beer or more of a beer cocktail

Its a good beer but you cant drink it for long or youll be sloshed. I picked up a six pack box of these at smiths for $11.99. I think im going to have one more before i switch to my regular beer.

Lemonadesque=turbid. This is a good video. The commentary found here is as good as any place. I have a comment of my own: There is a dual nature with respect to the temperature of this product, like antifreeze. If you're gonna buy a tall can of that stuff you better swill it down relatively fast cause if you don't, it'll get nasty when it gets the least bit warm. Yes, I know it's beer after all, and you know, what can you expect? Well, drink it warm and see if it doesn't 6:47 just straight up give you the shivers- a bit of turbulence, Captain...

I just want to know what they added, the outside packaging said “natural flavors” I emailed the company, and they said they can’t give out recipes, and asked if there was anything I was allergic to, I told them most things acidic like orange, lemon, grapefruit juice etc will give me canker sores. Haven’t heard back yet, but it hasn’t been long, that being said, for $10 a six pack, it’s worth buying, is it up to par with Pure project, Monkish, North Park, Green Cheek, etc no of course not, but it is quite good !

[@lol123321123321]

What is the difference from the juice force compared to the fruit force? I'm obsessed with the fruit force ipa. Extremely crushable. Haven't been able to find the juice force. I thought they were the same.

[@HopsAndBrews]

They are not the same. I think the juice force taste more like a citrus juice ipa....this taste like tropical punch. Same abv.

[@ellispiper6313]

This stuff is my go-to imperial IPA. I've experimented with many but it's up there with my favorites and its ABV/Price point just makes it all the better. Only complaint is, as much as I do love the smell and fruitiness on my first pint, It can become a bit much after that, so I usually pair it with a more traditional full-bodied IPA pint for balance.

[@HopsAndBrews]

Exactly what I do

[@bigpops4279]

What can I balance it out with? Would love to know for future reference thx n advance if you respond.

[@jeffreymarsh4966]

New Belgium Voodoo Ranger Juice Force IPA isn't as sweet as I first imagined prior to saturating my tongue and flooding my mouth cavity with it. The flavor reminds me of orange pith. It is dry at the end of the sip almost like a dry wine leaves your mouth feeling. The lacing on the inside of my beer mug is awesome. When would I drink this? Probably on a rainy day as I was listening to songs that remind me of by gone years.

I get this in a variety pack at my local Costco. I had a pretty bad toothache and I was turning to this beer to both decrease my pain level and to increase my enjoyment level. It was spot on. Really enjoy the flavor However it's thicker than how you described it. There's actually some flakes in it almost like if you were to get Orange juice with pulp added. So don't know why your beer seem to be More clear than mine but mine is quite cloudy with flakes in it?

[@HopsAndBrews]

Well that is caused by Costco not storing this beer in a cool temp. The yeast reactivated and you probably got yeast chunks... its 100% fine. Happens all the time with high abv beers. Also the hop and malt proteins start breaking apart too

What you said about "natural flavoring". I'm sure they added some dextrose or some type of simple sugar to add alcohol, while thinning out the body.
