Cloudy Lemonade if you want bright, almost-juice-like drinkability,
Razzmatazz Sour if you want berry funk with more fermented character.
Both hover around 4–4.5% ABV and 15 IBU, so they're equally sessionable, but they're chasing different flavor lanes. Vault City's approach feels like a sour that wants to be your summer drink; Roam's leans into the wild yeast complexity. Neither will exhaust you—pick based on whether you want refreshment or character.

Cloudy Lemonade
Cloudy Lemonade tastes like someone fermented actual lemonade—tart, clean, with a slight haze that suggests real fruit work. There's a lemony tartness up front that doesn't feel artificial, and it finishes dry without any funk hangover. It's the kind of beer you don't think about; you just drink it. At 4.5%, it's easy to settle into without fatigue.
Razzmatazz Sour
Razzmatazz Sour hits you with actual raspberry depth, but there's a wilder, yeastier underbelly—you taste the fermentation, not just the fruit. The sour is there, but it's balanced by something almost earthy or slightly funky that reminds you this is a wild ale, not a pastry beer. It's more of a sipping beer than a gulper. At 4%, it's deceptively light for how much flavor it's carrying.
