HOPIQ TAKE

Cloudy Lemonade if you want bright, citrus-forward tartness that feels like summer in a glass, Razzmatazz Sour if you want deeper berry complexity with a smoother finish. Both sit at that perfect low-ABV, low-IBU sweet spot where you're not fighting alcohol heat, but Vault City leans into that crisp, almost candied lemonade character while Roam's offering has more dimensional fruit depth. They're neck-and-neck on drinkability—the difference is whether you want something that tastes like it's making your mouth pucker in the best way, or something that feels more velvety and rounded.

TASTING NOTES

Cloudy Lemonade

CitrusySourSweet

Cloudy Lemonade hits you with immediate citrus brightness—there's this almost pastry-shop sweetness upfront that makes you think they nailed the lemonade comparison, but then there's a clean, snappy tartness underneath that keeps it from being cloying. The body's light and hazy (true to name), and it has that characteristic wild ale funk in the background that you only catch if you're paying attention. It's the kind of beer that disappears fast because your brain doesn't register it as 'work' to drink.

Razzmatazz Sour

CitrusySourFruity

Razzmatazz Sour opens with berry notes—raspberry especially—but it's not syrupy or artificial. There's a subtle earthiness that grounds the fruit, probably from the wild yeast doing its thing, and the sourness comes in as more of a rolling wave than a sharp spike. The finish is where it gets interesting: it dries out nicely without leaving your mouth feeling stripped, and there's this lingering berry sweetness that makes you want another sip immediately. It feels more 'composed' than Cloudy Lemonade, like someone thought through the arc of each sip.
