New Belgium Introduces Voodoo Ranger Juice Force IPA

I brought you a peek back in Sept 2021 and how this from New Belgium:

Highly drinkable 9.5% Hazy Imperial IPA combines the fastest growing craft styles to produce a powerhouse IPA

(Fort Collins, CO  March 1^st, 2022) – Voodoo Ranger today announced the release of Juice Force IPA – a fruit forward, highly drinkable 9.5% ABV Hazy Imperial IPA. Juice Force IPA joins the Voodoo Ranger lineup as a year-round, permanent addition to the brand family. Talk to me juice.

America’s most popular and #1 craft IPA brand introduces a newer style of IPA, which merges the two fastest-growing craft styles – Hazy and Imperial – to create a game changing IPA. Juice Force combines the strength and punch of a 9.5% ABV beer with the drinkability and amazing flavor expected from a much lighter IPA.

Off to a soaring start, Juice Force is already a top five selling beer for the Voodoo Ranger brand, and the highest rated for the brand ever on Untappd. Voodoo Ranger expects Juice Force to become a top five single serve craft item within just a few months of the launch. “The feedback we’ve received on Juice Force so far has been nothing short of incredible,” said Dave Knospe, Voodoo Ranger Brand Manager. “Beer drinkers, retailers, and distributors are hitting us up daily demanding more. It’s well exceeded even our highest expectations.”

The secret behind this highly successful sauce? High drinkability meets high ABV. The two typically don’t coexist, nor exist in general, for that matter. Juice Force fills the void for beer drinkers longing for both. This American-Style Imperial Hazy IPA features aromatic hops, fruit forward flavors, and low bitterness. Brewed with Mexican orange, mango, and passion fruit, Juice Force boasts a remarkably light body given the ABV. “When the brand team asked the brewing team to deliver a highly drinkable IPA at 9.5% ABV, I knew we were in for a challenge,” said Dave Glor, Brewer and Raw Materials Specialist. “But after some initial trial and error, we delivered an absolutely fantastic powerhouse Hazy Imperial IPA that we aptly named Juice Force.”

Buckle up America, this 9.5% ABV blast of Hazy meets Imperial will have fans buzzing the tower in no time. 6 pack, 12 oz cans and single serve 19.2oz cans of Juice Force IPA are now available nationwide. Time to break out the aviators. With Juice Force IPA, Voodoo Ranger fans can officially bring back that hazy feelin’. The bottom line – this juice is absolutely worth the squeeze.
