About This Beer
Rascals Space Cadet Hazy Australian IPA is a juicy and modern craft beer brewed in Dublin by Rascals Brewing Co. At 5.8% ABV, this hazy Australian IPA showcases the bright, fruit-forward character of Luna and Galaxy hops, making it a standout choice for anyone exploring craft beer Ireland or looking for craft beer delivered across the country.
This beer is built around expressive Australian hop flavour. Galaxy brings bold notes of passionfruit, peach, citrus, and tropical fruit, while Luna adds a fresh citrus lift, gentle floral character, and a modern hop brightness. Together, they create a hazy ipa beer that is aromatic, smooth, and full of flavour without becoming overly bitter.
The hazy body gives Space Cadet its soft, rounded mouthfeel, while the hop profile keeps the finish lively and refreshing. It is ideal for fans of juicy IPAs who want plenty of hop character with a smoother edge.

Food Pairings
Rascals Space Cadet Hazy Australian IPA pairs especially well with food that benefits from bright tropical fruit and citrus notes. Spicy dishes such as Thai curry, Korean fried chicken, chilli tacos, or buffalo wings work beautifully, as the juicy hop character helps balance heat while keeping the palate refreshed.
It is also a strong match for burgers, grilled chicken, fish tacos, loaded fries, and pizza. The soft body gives enough weight to handle richer foods, while the hop profile adds freshness and lift. Seafood pairings are also excellent, especially prawns, grilled white fish, or citrus-marinated dishes where the beer’s fruit character can shine.
For cheese, try goat’s cheese, mild cheddar, mozzarella, or creamy soft cheeses. These allow the tropical hop notes to remain the focus without overwhelming the pairing. For dessert, mango sorbet, passionfruit cheesecake, or citrus tart can echo the beer’s fruity profile.
