Overall similarity
hopIQ take
HAYABUSA if you want a cleaner, more mineral backbone,
I Would Give Her Flowers x TATE if you want something with softer edges and more malt sweetness.
Both sit at nearly identical ABV and bitterness, but they're pulling from different regional lager traditions. Beachwood's take feels more austere and precise—think Alpine discipline. Verdant's collab has more roundness, like someone smoothed out the corners.

HAYABUSA
HAYABUSA hits you with a snappy, almost crisp dryness that lingers on your palate. There's a subtle mineral quality—like licking a stone after rain—that keeps it interesting without being heavy. It's the kind of lager that tastes like it knows exactly what it's doing, no flourishes needed.
I Would Give Her Flowers x TATE
I Would Give Her Flowers x TATE is noticeably softer on arrival, with a gentle sweetness that suggests gentle grain work rather than aggressive hopping. There's a silky mouthfeel here that makes it disappear too quickly. It's approachable in a way that feels almost reassuring—no sharp edges, just clean brewing.
