Double NEIPA
For the first time ever, Citra, Rakau and Luminosa have been brought together in a single ground-breaking beer! (Well, at least according to ChatGPT.)
We’ve chosen a huge yet easy drinking Double NEIPA base to show off this truly unique hop profile. The result? A symphony of flavour that’s soft, pillowy, and bursting with grapefruit, mango, apricot, peach and guava, finishing with a candy like sweetness.
We might be a little vain for brewing it. But this isn’t vanity for vanity’s sake! We do other things for that…
This is innovation! This is bold, reckless, indulgent, hop fuelled artistry. Every sip is a reminder that pushing boundaries tastes better than playing it safe. This is a beer for those who crave adventure in their glass, who want something the world has never seen, and who aren’t afraid to admit a little pride along the way.
Ah, yep, okay. I hear it now. Yep, it’s vanity.

From a 500ml can on 24/3/2026. Pours a hazy deep golden with a smallish head. The nose is a light fruity melange of citrus and tropical notes. Tastes of orange, apricot, peach and lemon, leading to a moderate tangy bitterness. Silky mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Nice enough, if not a stand out.
