HOPIQ TAKE

Camba Island if you want a looser, fruitier New England IPA that feels like a session, Tunnel Vision if you want something with more grip and presence in your mouth. Both sit at nearly identical specs—6.6% vs 6.8%, same 45 IBUs—so the difference isn't about alcohol or bitterness, it's about texture and how the hops land. Camba feels almost fleeting, while Tunnel Vision has this sticky, resinous quality that lingers. Pick based on mood: are you settling in for several, or do you want each sip to feel substantial?

TASTING NOTES

Camba Island

TropicalHoppyHazy

Camba Island drinks like the brewery is trying to stay invisible—it's all soft stone fruit and a whisper of pine, nothing aggressive. The body is thin enough that you stop thinking about the beer itself and just notice how clean it feels going down. There's a slight tangerine note mid-palate, but it disappears fast. It's the kind of IPA that feels approachable immediately, no learning curve.

Tunnel Vision

TropicalHoppyHazy

Tunnel Vision has heft. Even at 6.8%, it feels denser—there's a waxy, almost creamy mouthfeel that makes the tropical notes (mango, passion fruit) stick around longer. The bitterness is restrained on paper (45 IBUs), but there's a resinous bite that builds as it warms. This one makes you *work* a little, which some people love and some find exhausting.
