Overall similarity
hopIQ take
I Would Give Her Flowers x TATE if you want something alive and textured,
London Lager if you want pure clarity and restraint.
Both nail 4.5% and 22 IBU, but Verdant's collab leans into micro-details—a grain-forward backbone with subtle complexity that rewards attention. Meantime's is cleaner, almost austere in its precision: this is what happens when a brewery decides a lager needs absolutely nothing extra.

I Would Give Her Flowers x TATE
Verdant's version has this honeyed, almost biscuity thing happening underneath. It's not sweet, but it sits on your tongue differently than you'd expect from a 4.5%—there's actual malt presence, some kind of noble hop whisper that doesn't announce itself. Finishes dry but leaves a trace of grain-forward character that lingers like someone left the door open.
London Lager
Meantime pours clean and drinks cleaner. This is lager fundamentalism: pilsner-style crispness, mineral water backbone, just enough hop bitterness to keep it interesting without demanding anything from you. It's the kind of beer that disappears in the best way—you look down and it's half gone because your mouth never had to work.
