Overall similarity
HOPIQ TAKE
Hoptometrist if you want crisp, straightforward hop clarity, La Quince Biodroid IPA if you want something with more texture and brewing experimentation. They're both 6.5% ABV with identical IBU counts, but Roughtail's approach feels like they're letting the hops speak plainly, while La Quince is clearly playing with process or ingredient sourcing to create a different mouthfeel. On paper they're twins; in the glass they're cousins.
