Easy Eddy if you want to drink easy all night,
Hazy IPA if you want a little more weight and punch.
Both sit at 45 IBUs, so bitterness isn't the differentiator—it's the alcohol backbone and how it shapes the experience. Easy Eddy's 6.2% lets the haze and juice speak without any warming alcohol bite, while Zipline's 7.2% adds a subtle richness that lingers. Pick based on your session length and how much malt sweetness you're craving.

Easy Eddy Hazy IPA
Easy Eddy drinks like a hazy that respects your thirst. There's genuine citrus and stone fruit up front—apricot, maybe some tangerine—without any syrupy drag. The finish is clean and almost delicate, which sounds weird for an IPA, but it means you can actually taste the individual hop notes instead of one big fruit bomb. This is the beer that disappears in your hand.
Hazy IPA
Zipline's Hazy IPA has more presence. The juice is there—tropical, slightly peachy—but there's a malt foundation holding it up. You feel the 7.2% in a good way; it adds a soft warmth that makes the beer feel more substantial. The finish has a bit more grip, a touch of that classic resinous haze character that reminds you it's still an IPA, not just fruit juice.
