    I think the band Night Ranger recommends this series but I digress. I always enjoyed the Voodoo Ranger series (1985 IPA being the best). The Juice Force definitely hits you right away with the high 9.5 ABV. I give it a 7.5 out of 10.

    Have you tried the Arizona hard tea that has come out in the past few months or the new variant of this, the Tropic force? I am trying the tropic force right now, can't say I love it. If I used stuff like Steel Reserve Alloy and Natural Father as a comparison like I did with the others, it's probably better in terms of hiding the alcohol and not being 80% sugar. Overall though, I wouldn't say it's very good, I would rather have $3 worth of Natural Light than it.

    I tried this a month or two ago, I thought it was somewhat good. I didn't notice the alcohol from what I recall, it held up better at the ABV compared to AB/MC adjunct strong lagers. But then again i already had some different beer prior and it was the first try, so it's not necessarily an accurate assessment until a second or third try for me, not that I am interested enough in this product to do so.
    I feel like the marketing on the website says what I already felt, that many of these IPA's appeal is that they are equal or higher in ABV than many malt liquors but the consumer doesn't feel like they associate with the negative popular image those products garnered while still getting the consumer "buzzing the tower".
    If those sort of products are the reference point, I would probably rate this quite high since it wasn't packed with sugar and was somewhat enjoyable, 8% adjunct lagers are more than unpleasant to me, and the one sugared malt beverage I had years ago was a Steel reserve alloy series and it made me physically ill due to the sugar content. Though if I was given the choice, I'd rather have equivalent alcohol volume worth of Pilsner Urquel, Coors Banquet, Colt 45 or what have you than one super high ABV beer.

    Its surprising to hear that Goose Island has largely disappeared from your area considering who owns them. Honkers Ale I thought was cancelled years ago. I saw the Goose Island barrel aged coca cola stout today for 22.99 and they had one left and I was tempted to pick it up but I ultimately passed. I got their Summertime Ale which is a Kolsch style beer that comes in 15 packs. Its a bit overpriced since its a InBev product it should be cheaper but its not too bad. Their Shandy also comes in 15 packs. People tell me these beers are also sold in 6 packs but Ive never seen it.

    • @ronaldtheriot
      @ronaldtheriot  2 роки тому +1

      Well, it is what it is, but Goose Island seems to have faded from this area (southeastern Louisiana). However, just this morning, I saw a six-pack of Tropical Beer Hug (cans), so there's that.

    I watch lots of beer reviews and your probably my favorite reviewer. I like your no b.s. approach and that you don't hate on malt liquors or adjunct lagers. I watched 2 other reviews on this beer as i was drinking it prior to getting to yours and you were the first to catch the fact that it had natural flavors added. I instantly thought that when smelling it but i didnt notice it labeled and couldnt find that info with the brief search i did. So easy to overlook, its good but does it take away from it? ehh.. it kind of does for me. I just like seeing what hops can do all on their own, its sort of cheating in my mind. Why not label it right on the front, ipa with tangerine flavor or whatever they added. instead they hide it on the side in small print. anyway, i appreciate your reviews.
