CRAK NEIPA if you want approachable and sessionable,
Julius if you want hazy intensity and depth.
Both nail the NEIPA playbook at nearly identical ABV and IBU, but they're playing different games—one's your reliable go-to, the other's the show-off. The 0.3% ABV difference is negligible; the philosophy behind each beer is what separates them.

CRAK NEIPA
CRAK NEIPA drinks like someone finally figured out how to make a NEIPA that doesn't demand your full attention. Soft citrus and peach come through without that harsh, aggressive hop burn some NEIPAs throw at you. The mouthfeel is clean and pillowy—it disappears fast, which is exactly when you reach for another one.
Julius
Julius is the kind of hazy that makes you slow down and actually taste it. There's real complexity here—stone fruit, a whisper of pine, this creamy texture that coats your mouth just long enough to register what you're drinking. It's generous without being heavy, and it lingers in the best way.
