High Res if you want a softer, creamier hazy experience,
King Julius if you want bold intensity and bite.
High Res leans into Cerebral's restraint—it's a hazy IPA that knows when to whisper. King Julius swings harder as an Imperial, letting those extra IBUs and proof demand your attention. Both nail the New England style, but they're aiming at different moods.

High Res
High Res feels like drinking a cloud that tastes like tropical juice. There's a velvety mouthfeel that catches you off guard—it's thick without being heavy. The bitterness sits in the background like a polite guest; the hops are there (Citra, Mosaic, Azacca vibes) but they're not shouting. It finishes clean, almost dry, which makes you want another sip immediately.
King Julius
King Julius hits different. It's got the weight and the presence you expect from an Imperial—those 8.2% points actually land. The bitterness is more pronounced, assertive without being harsh, and the hop character has edges to it. You taste peach, pine, stone fruit layered with a slight resinous backbone. It's the kind of beer that makes you slow down and pay attention.
