Easy Eddy if you want to sip easy all evening,
Hazy IPA if you want more weight and complexity.
Both hit the same IBU sweet spot at 45, so bitterness won't separate them—it's the alcohol backbone that matters here. That extra point of ABV in Zipline's version isn't huge, but you'll feel it as warmth and body. Pick based on pacing: Easy Eddy is a session beer that won't fatigue your palate; Zipline's is a slower, more deliberate pour.

Easy Eddy Hazy IPA
Easy Eddy drinks like a New England IPA should—soft, pillowy, almost creamy without being heavy. There's a gentle citrus note that feels more like orange pith than juice, and it disappears fast, which is exactly the point. The 6.2% ABV sits in your background like a good friend who doesn't demand attention. This is the beer you order when you want to enjoy the conversation more than the complexity.
Hazy IPA
Zipline's Hazy IPA has a noticeably fuller mouthfeel—you taste the extra alcohol as slight warmth in your throat, and it gives the whole thing more presence. The hop profile feels slightly more assertive, maybe more tropical stone fruit underneath. It's still a hazy IPA, still soft-edged, but there's a backbone here that Easy Eddy doesn't quite have. This one asks you to actually pay attention.
