New Belgium - Voodoo Ranger - Fruit Force - Hazy IPA (Ale/USA)



A confident beer from New Belgium's Voodoo Ranger series, a "fruit cocktail" beer.
The reviews for this beer are either very good or very bad. Many people say that it resembles more of a fruit cocktail than a beer and that it has nothing to do with beer. It is true that it resembles a fruit cocktail, as its name suggests, but I will be on the side of those who love this beer. I think it's an extraordinary beer, even a work of art. I call it a work of art because it shows what can be done with beer. Just like the reactions that modern art receives, it is normal for these types of beers to receive criticism.
To be honest, while drinking the beer, I seriously thought they had added fruit juice to it. I tasted intense pineapple and mango flavors. However, this beer is made by combining the magnificent aromas of hops without actually adding fruit. Just like a painter creates a color that is not on their palette by mixing three primary colors, hop aromas have come together to create fruit flavors.
I think among the Hazy IPAs I've had, it was the one that gave the most fruit taste, so it definitely deserves its name.

Alc (ABV): 9.5%
Bitterness (IBU): 33
Score: 10/10
