Razzmatazz Sour if you want tart funkiness and wild complexity,
The Booth Hoppy Wheat if you want approachable grain softness with subtle hop character.
Both clock in at 4% ABV—basically sessionable—but they're pulling from totally different playbooks. The Razzmatazz is doing the sour thing, which means unpredictable fermentation and a living edge; The Booth is straightforward and built for drinkability. Neither is better; it's about what your palate needs in that moment.

Razzmatazz Sour
Razzmatazz hits you with this immediate tartness that's not quite sour candy—it's more like biting into a tart cherry that's been sitting with some wild yeast cultures. There's a funky, slightly vinous undertone that keeps shifting on you, which is exactly what you want from an American Wild Ale. It's dry as hell on the finish, almost dusty, and at 4% ABV it doesn't feel thin—just clean and precise. Roam's clearly letting the fermentation do the talking here.
The Booth Hoppy Wheat
The Booth Hoppy Wheat is immediately softer—you get that wheaty, almost creamy mouthfeel right away, with a subtle citrus-peppery hop layer that doesn't overpower the grain. It's genuinely drinkable without being boring; the hops are there (14 IBU shows restraint), but they're just seasoning the wheat, not starring in it. At 4.3% ABV it has a touch more weight than the Razzmatazz, which makes it feel more like a meal beer than an explorer's beer.
