Voodoo's icy take on its own good vibes West Coast IPA: the same punchy hop profile, here reading as tropical fruit, citrus and pine, set on a lighter body with a lager-like finish. A Cold IPA at 6% ABV and one of ten flagships on the current menu. Voodoo has brewed in Meadville, Pennsylvania since 2005.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for chill vibes

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright transparency. A dense white head forms on the pour with fine, persistent Schaumhaftung that clings to the glass walls. Carbonation is crisp and lively, evident in steady streams of small bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical fruit notes—mango and passionfruit—layered beneath citrus peel and a pronounced pine character. A light, clean malt backbone supports the hop expression without adding substantial grain sweetness. The aromatic profile reads fresh and vibrant, with no yeast-driven or solvent notes.

◐ Taste

The palate enters crisp and refreshing, with tropical and citrus flavors immediately evident. Mid-palate reveals a balanced bitterness (55 IBU) that integrates smoothly rather than dominating; pine and grapefruit flesh deepen the impression. The body remains deliberately light, allowing the hop character to remain central without heavy malt sweetness or astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and dry, with a lager-like quality that lingers briefly. Lingering bitterness from noble hops fades cleanly without metallic or harsh aftertaste.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

About Cold IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Cold IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.

Finding a similar Cold IPA

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same tropical, hoppy, piney character as chill vibes will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
