Beer Review: Juicin’ Voorhees (Pariah Brewing Company)

It’s Friday the 13th, and as the chilling wind creeps through the trees and masked slashers stalk our screens, there’s only one beer that belongs in your glass tonight: Juicin’ Voorhees by Pariah Brewing Company. With a name that nods to the hockey-masked legend of horror, this hazy Double IPA doesn’t sneak up on you—it kicks in the door, machete first. But instead of screams, it leaves behind a trail of juicy citrus, smooth bitterness, and pure hop-fueled satisfaction.

☁️ Appearance – Haze of the Undead

Much like the fog rolling across Crystal Lake, Juicin’ Voorhees pours an ominously thick golden haze with a glowing, almost radioactive glow. Its creamy white head clings like cobwebs on a rickety cabin, leaving lacing that lingers long after each sip. Ominous, inviting, and impossible to ignore.

---

👃 Aroma – Frighteningly Fruity

From the first whiff, this beer hits hard with grapefruit zest, peach nectar, and a whisper of dank tropical fruit—like a fruit basket left behind at a murder scene. There’s a sinister edge of orange rind and a faint herbal note in the background, hinting that not everything is as sweet as it seems.

---

👅 Flavor – Slashingly Smooth

Where most slashers go for the jugular, Juicin’ Voorhees chooses a more subtle, creeping approach.

• Up front, you get a wave of peach, grapefruit, and tangerine—a fruit-forward assault that’s bright and punchy.

• The mid-palate turns slightly bitter, with soft pith and a touch of earthy dankness.

• The finish? Clean, slightly resinous, and just warm enough to remind you this beast clocks in at 8.1% ABV.

It walks the line between sweet and bitter with the finesse of a seasoned stalker—never too cloying, never too aggressive.

---

👻 Mouthfeel – Smooth as a Silent Stalk

Medium-bodied with a creamy, pillowy mouthfeel, Juicin’ Voorhees glides across the palate like a shadow in the woods. No alcohol burn, no heavy syrup—just a chillingly clean, soft experience that leaves you watching your back… and reaching for another sip.

---

🩸 Overall Impressions – Hazy Horror Done Right

Pariah Brewing has crafted something special here. Juicin’ Voorhees isn’t just a gimmick beer with a horror-themed name—it’s a legit, well-balanced hazy DIPA that stands tall even among the genre’s heavyweights. The name might scream slasher flick, but the beer inside is all finesse and flavor.

If you’re a fan of juicy IPAs, or just someone looking for the perfect beer to pair with your Friday the 13th binge-watch session, this one’s a no-brainer. Literally.

You can find the brewery maps here:
