Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Guerrilla if you want lean, punchy drinkability,
Susan if you want layered complexity.
Both sit at nearly identical specs—6% ABV, 60 IBU—but CRAK's version feels built for speed while Hill Farmstead's lingers with intent. The real difference is philosophy: one's a sprinter, one's a thinker.

In words
Guerrilla
Guerrilla hits clean and doesn't overstay. There's a bright citrus snap upfront that fades quickly into a dry, almost crisp finish—the kind of IPA that disappears the moment you set the glass down. It's got backbone (that 60 IBU registers), but it never flexes. You're left wanting another sip immediately, which is exactly the point.
Susan
Susan unfolds slowly. The first sip is softer than you'd expect, almost pillowy, with stone fruit and a subtle herbal undertone that keeps revealing itself. The bitterness is there but integrated, not sharp. It finishes drier than Guerrilla but leaves more residual flavor clinging to your palate—the kind of beer you actually taste as you drink it.
