HOPIQ TAKE
Easy Eddy Hazy IPA if you want a fuller, slightly more assertive hazy that fills your mouth, Love Lane NZ Hazy if you want something breezier and easier to session. The IBU spread is identical at 45, so bitterness won't separate them—it's really about that 1.2% ABV difference and how each brewery chose to use their malt bill. Easy Eddy's extra alcohol gives it noticeably more body and presence, while Love Lane leans into the restraint that makes New Zealand hops (guessing those are Nelson Sauvin or Motueka in there) pop without weight. Both are legitimately good examples of the style; it's about whether you want substance or drinkability today.
