Description

Your Real Fake Cosmic Goldfish NEIPA - Extract Clone Beer Kit never sits on a shelf. Your grains are crushed to order. Your ingredients are packed fresh and you don't pay for a flashy box. It's all about providing you with the freshest ingredients for you to make your best beer.

Let your taste buds drift into the haze with the Cosmic Goldfish NEIPA Clone Beer Kit. Designed for extract brewers, this recipe brings you a rich, pillowy body and vibrant hop character without the fuss of all-grain. You’ll notice the smooth texture right away—thanks to the blend of pale and wheat dry malt extract, which sets the stage for the real stars: Citra and Mosaic hops. Added late in the boil and generously dry-hopped, they unleash a juicy explosion of ripe mango, citrus zest, and hints of stone fruit, all wrapped in a delicate fog of haze. If you love a soft, low-bitterness New England IPA with bold tropical aroma, this one’s dialed in just for you. It’s a flavorful, fragrant brew that highlights your hops without overwhelming your palate.
