HOPIQ TAKE

CRAK NEIPA if you want a beer that feels more substantial and structured, Easy Eddy Hazy IPA if you want something that drinks like a cloud with a soft landing. Both are hovering around the same ABV and bitterness, so the difference is really about mouthfeel and how the breweries chose to voice their hops. CRAK leans into that creamy, almost custard-like texture that NEIPAs are known for, while Easy Eddy feels lighter, airier—more of a straight-line path from glass to gullet.

TASTING NOTES

CRAK NEIPA

TropicalHoppyHazy

CRAK NEIPA hits you with that signature NEIPA creaminess right away—the kind of texture that makes you want to slow down and actually taste it. There's a stone fruit thing happening (apricot, maybe peach) that doesn't feel forced, and the finish has this subtle resinous dryness that keeps it from being one-dimensional. At 6.5%, it's got enough weight to feel like a real beer, not a sip.

Easy Eddy Hazy IPA

HoppyHazyCitrusy

Easy Eddy is the kind of hazy IPA that disappears on you in the best way. It's got that murky, opaque thing going on, but the flavors are surprisingly defined—citrus and a little bit of tangerine zest without any harsh edges. The low ABV (6.2%) actually works in its favor here; it drinks so smoothly that you'll be halfway through before you realize it.
