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.

Can, from Whole Foods, Manhattan. Pours cloudy lemon yellow with a large foamy off-white head, citrus-mango aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter citrus peel-pineapple taste with faint mango flavor, thin body, long finish. Nice tropical NEIPA.
