12oz can. Poured out a cloudy, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of foam. It left sticky rings of lace on the glass. It smelled of grapefruit, orange, toasted caramel and some resin. It tasted of zesty, tropical fruit with piney bitterness and sweet caramel.

12oz can - review from notes
Nice look, orange, clear, lace, all that. Smell and taste is pine and slight citrus fruit. Nice crisp bite from the carbonation makes it drink easy. OK but unmemorable... These would be more interesting to drink next to each other in a vertical rather than spaced out by months in specialty variety packs

Copper colored with excellent clarity. There’s an inch of densely packed, tightly knit off white on top. Light, soapy lacing is present. The aroma is of melon and orange. I’m tasting orange and melon. The mouth is lightly sticky and resinous.

Can. Beautiful CLEAR bright yellow gold with dense small head and lace. Tropical fruity aroma. Medium sweetness with a hint of melon and lightly toasted grain with fruity but fairly dry citrus finish. Medium body lively fine perfect carbo to accentuate hops. Excellent.

2021 Voodoo Ranger Hoppy Pack 05 - 12 pack
12 oz. can dated 210913 (09/13/21) - 6.6% ABV / 41 IBU
Brewed and canned in Fort Collins, CO or Asheville, NC
Poured into a Bell's branded pub pint glass
Look - Pours a thick and soapy white head that clings to the glass. Golden see-through appearance with a fair amount of floating bubbles.
Smell - Mostly has a floral hop scent with some pine, citrus, and peach.
Taste - Sharp hop dankness on first taste with some grapefruit bitterness lingering throughout. Picking up more of the citrus and peach flavor from the Galaxy hops as it warms. Also getting some sweetness from the honey malt.
Feel - Medium bodied with a juicy mouthfeel. Not much carbonation. Easy to drink.
Overall - Not overly malty, so the hops flavors are able to come through well. A good, drinkable showcase for the citrus and peach flavors of the Galaxy hops.
