Voodoo Ranger Ipa Abv Review (Updated | May 3rd)

If you are the kind of person who gets bored drinking the same thing all night, this 12-pack variety pack is honestly your best bet. It is a fantastic introduction to the Voodoo lineup because it lets you cycle through different flavor profiles without committing to a full case of just one style.

At a manageable 6% ABV, these are much more ‘sessionable’ than their heavier counterparts, meaning you can actually enjoy a couple during a backyard BBQ without feeling like you need a nap immediately after. The craft quality is exactly what you would expect from New Belgium—clean, crisp, and consistently hoppy.

I’d recommend this for anyone hosting a party or someone who wants to find their favorite IPA through a little taste-testing. The only real bummer is that the mix of flavors can be hit or miss; you might end up loving three styles but feeling stuck with a few cans of the one you didn’t particularly care for.

This 19.2 fl oz single can is essentially the ‘heavy hitter’ of the gas station cooler or the local shop. Known as the Imperial IPA, it packs a serious punch with a 9% ABV, so you definitely need to respect the percentage here.

It pours a nice golden color and hits you with those classic piney and citrus notes that IPA lovers crave. It is the perfect choice for someone who wants one high-quality, high-gravity beer to sip on while winding down the night or watching a game.

Because it is a single tallboy, it’s convenient for grabbing on the go without lugging around a heavy box. However, you have to be careful with the temperature.

Because the can is so large and the alcohol content is so high, the last few ounces tend to get quite warm and boozy-tasting if you don’t drink it relatively quickly, which can be a bit of a turn-off.

If you are looking for a beer that feels like a vacation in a can, you have to try the Tropic Force IPA. Unlike some of the heavy-hitters in the Voodoo Ranger lineup, this one sits at a much more manageable 5.2% ABV, making it the perfect choice for a long afternoon barbecue where you want to stay sharp.

It hits you with these really bright, tropical fruit notes—think pineapple and mango—that mask the bitterness you usually expect from an IPA. It is incredibly refreshing and light-bodied, which is exactly what you want when the sun is out.

I’d recommend this to anyone who usually finds IPAs too intense or ‘piney.’ It is basically the gateway craft beer for fruit lovers. However, the real downside here is the sweetness level.

If you are a purist who wants that classic, earthy hop bite, this might taste a bit too much like fruit punch for your liking. It definitely leans into the juice category more than the traditional bitter IPA category.

The Voodoo Ranger Juicy Haze is exactly what it sounds like—a thick, cloudy, and seriously flavorful pour. At 7.5% ABV, it packs a much bigger punch than your average lager, so you definitely want to take your time with it.

What I love about this one is the unfiltered texture; it has that velvety mouthfeel that makes the citrus flavors really pop. You get a lot of orange and lemon zest notes right up front, followed by a smooth finish that isn’t overly harsh.

It is the ideal pick for someone who loves a New England Style IPA but doesn’t want to pay boutique brewery prices. It feels premium without being pretentious.

The main drawback to watch out for is that it can feel quite heavy on the stomach. Because it is so dense and unfiltered, drinking more than two can leave you feeling pretty full, making it less of a ‘session’ beer and more of a slow sipper for the evening.
