hopIQ found 10 beers with the same piney and berry character as Return of the Lake Erie Monster. A reworked version of the brewery's older Lake Erie Monster Double IPA, relaunched in 2024 as the April release of the Double Feature series. The strength stayed at 9.5 percent while the body was made lighter. Apollo, Willamette, Simcoe, Idaho 7 and Azacca hops sit on two-row malt and Caramel 30. It pours clear amber with an off-white head. Pine, earthy spice and ripe berries lead, with a touch of tropical fruit from the newer hop varieties. Caramel malt stays in the background, and the bitterness is firm without turning harsh. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
