Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Guerrilla if you want to drink sessionably and stay sharp,
Lunch if you want a fuller body and more staying power.
Both hit the same IBU target (60), but that 1.2% ABV gap matters—Guerrilla sips like a well-toned 5.8% should, while Lunch's 7% gives you texture without feeling heavy. They're both American IPAs built for balance over brutality, just aimed at different moments in your night.

Guerrilla
Guerrilla drinks like a sprinter—snappy citrus and pine up front, clean finish that doesn't linger. There's real hop presence but no boozy warmth creeping in; CRAK kept this lean and purposeful. It's the IPA you can drink three of without feeling like you need a nap afterward.
Lunch
Lunch has more authority on your palate. The 7% gives it a slightly bready, malt-forward backbone that makes the hops feel more integrated than aggressive. You get pine and citrus too, but they're sitting on something substantial—this one rewards sipping and actually tastes better as it warms slightly.
