Aromas are malt, mild citrus and a hint of resin. Flavors are similar to and better than nose. Citrus comes out more and is slightly on the sweet side with enough bitter and carbonation to balance. Maybe some circus peanuts in there someplace.

12 oz can. Aroma has faint notes of coconut, pine, citrus peel. Pours hazy golden with a one finger off-white head with decent retention. Taste has a moderate pithy bitterness with tropical hop and piney flavors. Way above average for a Voodoo Ranger.

OK, how many blasted IPAs does NB market under the Voodoo label? Three hundred fitty thousand? Must be only a hundred fewer than the number of IPA out there, which is four quadrillion. Well, when you see the word voodoo on a NB can, you are in for a terribly on style IPA shock to the pie hole and this is no exception. That fruity smell on the pop of this 1$ can, is just a ruse. Taste is a bitter assault to the bazoo, a thrash to the chops, a mush pummel, a duff up on the potato trap and a knock about to the yap. Rude crude and again very on style. Bitter bastard this is. Sometimes I think that NB just renames an older voddoo ranger to release a re-badge as bait for the ticker whores. Fer sher, so many taste the same, no kidden. Well at least it has some co2 in there to make it somewhat drinklable to a pale macro lager lover.
