Ectogasm if you want to stay sharp and session-friendly,
Haze if you want full-bodied richness that lingers.
Both nail the New England IPA playbook with identical IBUs, but that 1.7% ABV gap hits different—Drekker keeps things nimble while Tree House goes for the heavier pour. Pick based on how many you're planning to drink and whether you want bright clarity or creamy depth.

Ectogasm
Ectogasm slides down with this almost creamy mouthfeel that belies its 6.5% ABV—there's a soft pillowy quality that makes it dangerous in the best way. The hops stay fruity and restrained, leaning into stone fruit and melon without any harsh bite. It's the beer you order when you want to actually taste nuance across multiple glasses.
Haze
Haze hits harder—thicker body, more assertive. The extra ABV rounds out the juice profile into something almost tropical smoothie-adjacent, with a slightly oily texture that coats your palate. Those 45 IBUs feel more present here because there's more beer behind them, giving it structure and staying power.
