Yea I think you can't get better than voodoo ranger IPA. I've been very impressed with the flavor and effect. The things I look for in a beer. And if you considered other beers compared to it a 6 pack of imperials is like a 12 pack of domestic as far as alcohol content. Greetings from Minnesota Wish you a good year filled with blessings .❤🍻
@@HopsAndBrews Fruit Force is a fantastic beer. I actually prefer over the juice force right now, only because my last 3 cans of juice force had a very bitter aftertaste. The juice force I had last year tasted fine. I don’t know they cheapened the formula but I’ll try another Juice force eventually to compare. Thanks for the video!
Gave their new Tropic Force a run, it's ok. The Fruit Force probably still holds my top. The Juice Force is great too but the Fruit maybe hits the mark highest.
Yes, I think that's my main point on this and the Juice Force is that for price/abv/flavor I really can't complain. Are there better ipas out there ...yes but they are a lot more $.
@HopsAndBrews Some other high ABV double IPAs at a cheap price worth trying would be Squatter's Hop Rising and Sierra Nevada Big Little Thing as well as Lagunitas Maximus. Not an IPA, but also really like the Victory Golden Monkey series for an ABV bang for your buck craft beer done well. Also would recommend the 2022 Lagunitas Willettized for a crazy value for a really good barrel aged stout.
@@hawk12983 Yeah Big Little Thing and Maximus, are regular in my fridge, same with Willettized ,when it comes out. I've had Golden Monkey before, just not as available around here as some other beers for some weird reason.
I prefer it over the Juice Force due to it tasting like adult fruit punch. A good "I want a nice buzz but don't feel like drinking a lot" Beer Pairs quite well with a cigar. Talking about the 6 pack here, 2 is nice, 3 is great 4, I am buzzing 5 I might wake up a bit late, 6 oh god it felt like a good idea the time. Be sure to have a glass of water between cans.
Great! I really like the Juice Force, I think I have 3-4 cans of the 19.5oz cans in my fridge at a given time. I have one of these left, gonna have both this weekend and compare the two
Okay dude I will be purchasing this beer as soon as I see it! I love the whole Voodoo Ranger line up and I didn't know about this new one until you brought it to my attention. I dug the whole presentation and liked the chill beat playing in the background during your review. I'm glad that I had subscribed to channel because I've come to love my craft beer and like to get adventurous with it.
To me, New Belgium Brewing Company Voodoo Ranger Fruit Force IPA smells like an opened can of fruit cocktail. It kinda tastes like the syrup/juice in a can of fruit cocktail only drier. For the life of me, I can not taste the alcohol in it. And that makes it dangerous. LOL
Voodoo ranger IPA is the best beer out there in my opinion. As far as price effect and flavor its hard to beat. I like the imperial and juice force. I called into hyvee and it sounds like they just got the fruit force in so hopefully this will be on my favorites list. I like a beer with high abv. Greetings from Minnesota Wish you a good year filled with blessings.❤🍻🎣😏
I picked up a New Belgium variety case at Costco for a cool $28. Gotta say - I think this one is an acquired taste. I'm workin on it. Traditionally I like a lil citrus and hopiness. I'm open - but, so far it seems like I poured some hawaiian punch into my IPA.🤔
At first I though it was repacked 4loko esque artificial mess but it grew on me fast. I agree juice force is my preference but this one def gets points for its uniqueness
Finally tried this one and holy molly, clean true flavor and insane light feeling for the 9.5% jet fuel! Their recent Cryo Ranger IPA is similar, tiny bit more orange - quality is definitely picking up. Maybe it's the lighting but my Fruit Force is more mellow yellow colored than the video's oranger haze. New Belgium absolutely should shoot for the "Jungle Juiced" next - 9.9% abv lmao.
Always loved the Juicy Haze + Juice force combo (1>2), the other niche cans are also good such as the variety pack, but they don't sell them as larger cans sadly, this new blue can ( fruit force) is such a nice tasting difference compared to the juice force, i would love to spend an evening now with 2 fruit > 1 juice force. For taste and 'consistency' ;) This can gets an A+ from me and my fiance (who introduced me to these wonderful IPAs) Thanks for the review.
Awesome man, I just had the Juice Force for lunch and I still agree its a notch above the fruit force. But after having so much juice force I can see where Fruit Force would be a nice change.
I love the Juice Force, this one(maybe fresh) might taste different. Still good, but I know a lot of people that didnt like this one over the Juice Force
When purchasing, I thought I was getting an IPA that New Belgium used only hops to perfect a fruit taste/aroma. I got absolutely no aroma/taste from the hops. Turns out there are "natural" flavors added to this beer. Big thumbs down for me.
Yea if you watch my Juice Force video I say the same thing that they probably added "natural" flavors to the beer to get it tasting like that. I assume similar thing on this one. However for the flavor, abv, and quality w/price point I give it a pass
@@HopsAndBrews I tried a tall boy of juice for about 1 month or so ago. Ideally this extra hoppy style of ipa isn't really my preference but juice force was definitely more preferable than this fruit punch crap
I don't really like beer but this is my go to. nice and sweet like soda/juice but not that lol
I do prefer the Juice Force over the Fruit Force
I'm on the 4th one. I was skeptical but I'm drunk as shit. 6/5
Well yeah after 4 of these, you stop caring about the taste and just feeling the good vibes
Juice force rocks the world!
You try the new Tropic Force?
Some people dont like these or thr voodoo ranger lineup and i get it but i don't lol fruit force is great
You try the new Tropic Force?
@@HopsAndBrews I have and it is tasty as well
@@grnpspyea I really like that one, you try their new Pizza IPA 😆
@@HopsAndBrews no haven't had it how was it?
@@grnpsp interesting, just released review of it
the voodoo ranger line is my favorite, imperial IPA especially, but all the others I've tried were exceptional too
I wouldn't be surprised by the end of the yr or next they make a split of the "force" line of voodoo Rangers. Juice Force, fruit force..ect
@@HopsAndBrews I know I've tried the juice force, but I haven't tried the one you're reviewing, I normally just get a 6pack of the imperial IPA lol
@@YoungDeathWish This one just came out, and I mean like in the last 30 days and it took a bit to get here. So be on the look out for this one.
@@HopsAndBrews I will, thanks man

I’m sipping on Fruit Force right now watching your video 🎊
What do you think of it?

@@ChaseMaximilian I know they are working on a 3rd version. Don't know when it would be coming out
Not my best beer, but it gets the job done
Yup!!
I like the Fruit Force IPA. My favorite so far. #YesIndeed
I like Juice Force over fruit force
@@HopsAndBrews Juice Force is also dope to me. #RealTalk
Shit gave me a hangover with withdrawals
Love a tipsy review. Thoroughly enjoyed this, first video of yours I’ve seen.
Thank you, check out the Juice Force review.
Refreshing. I enjoyed it. Love all the VooDoos. It indeed is sweet. I would only drink one to avoid a headache as sweet drinks make a bit woozy.
the sugar in things go into your bloodstream different. A hangover from malt liquor is different because of the amount of sugar still in it.
@@HopsAndBrews Yeah makes sense. ✌🏻
When you said mix the two I completely agree. Have one then the other it’s a perfect combo
Thanks for the like I’m drinking it now 😂
Its ok. Thats all i can say
This and Juice Force reminds me of Lawson’s Finest Liquid Sip of sunshine is a really good way. Love it.
I dont think we get that here in the PNW. Would trade for some if you want
Straight up adult fruit punch Hi-C lmao. I got some on a whim yesterday and it’s some good stuff. Tastes exactly like the fruit punch Hi-C
Except, it doesn’t.
@charliesmash yeah I barely taste any fruit punch but I don't really care for the taste all that much it's not bad
Yeah I was dumb that shit is rough fr lmaooo I just drink it to get drunk fast
I expected to hate it, but I ended up liking it.
Was just about to post this. I hate over-fruity beers. But I really liked this one. My local gas station sells 2 of these for $5.60. Great deal!!!
try the new Tropic force
I will, if I ever see it. @@HopsAndBrews
@@ronaldtheriot Just came out, so keep eye out.
I bought some of these yesterday and looking forward to trying them.
Let me know what you think
@@HopsAndBrews Will do
fire intro 🔥
Thanks man
Damn Good Beer🍺🍺
You try the Juice Force??
I love all of them but this one is amazing
cheers man
Yeah it comes in fruit punch
and man it has a Punch...
It's alright, but Juice force is
my favorite.
Agreed
Gave their new Tropic Force a run, it's ok. The Fruit Force probably still holds my top. The Juice Force is great too but the Fruit maybe hits the mark highest.
I'm gonna buy some Monday. probably have a video out on it by Wednesday or Thursday
its good but a lil bit too fruity. i think the juice force is better, but this one is still good
Not bad but had a cheap artificial Hawaiian punch flavor. Can't really complain for the price/abv
Yes, I think that's my main point on this and the Juice Force is that for price/abv/flavor I really can't complain.

I like this guy in a Willy Wonka kinda way
I have a Willy Wonka outfit ;)
It’s ok not bad. Thin bodied n lesser or the two. Juice force ipa still the best! Great review. I agree 😊
I’m in CA. I spent $4.99 for the 19.2 fl. OZ
Oh wow, but that is CA prices 😄
Yea good but the Juice Force is better
once you get a buzz going, they go down much easier
Wise Words.... However for the same price you can buy the other flavors and have a much better trip to that destination.
I taste cherry, watermelon, pineapple, and orange. It’s fucking delicious and those hops still come through. Very delicious beer

Thanks man, have you got to try the Voodoo ranger Juice Force...thats a staple in my fridge now
@@HopsAndBrewsyes! I was amazed at how good that one does taste as strong as it is and am looking forward to this new one now.
I hated the orange after taste of the orange can, this fruit punch was just perfect for me . Tho nothing beats the original!
The OG is great. I hear there is a 3rd version in the works
subd
Thanks!
Im not getting a sweet taste. Im getting fruit essence on the after taste,not bad but Juice Force is better than this one in my opinion.
Yes, this is my least fav of the "Force" line up. Juice Force and Tropic Force are the 2 best
Pretty good shit (Buzzin)i added lemon and lime perfect for summer or a beach
Sounds interesting might have to try that

@@HopsAndBrews thanks bud. What's your favorite beer?❤🍻🎣
@@williammatson9238 probably the Juice Force and 1985

@@JacobProvencio-fr8pn I do prefer JUICE Force over this one. 100%
I honestly can’t stand the aftertaste of the Juice Force, as such this is my go to!
Oh I like Juice Force over Fruit Force. But to each their own
Not too sweet, they absolutely nailed it!!! I lived in Colorado and visited Ft. Collins. This beer is ON POINT, and I'm not an IPA guy!!!!
I love the Juice Force, this one(maybe fresh) might taste different. Still good, but I know a lot of people that didnt like this one over the Juice Force

This stuff is dangerous. It tastes like capri sun pacific punch or their fruit punch.
Yea taste like Hawaiian Punch
It tastes like bitter Hawaiian Punch, I wasn’t a fan :/ dumped f down the drain but all the other VR beers are bomb 💣

IPA's taste like brown Listerine
So they clean your mouth and let you have a good time.
