Overall similarity
hopIQ take
INTO THE HAZE if you want bright, citrus-forward clarity,
Tender Thorns x TATE if you want layered complexity and earthiness.
Both sit at nearly identical ABV and IBU, so the real difference is in how each brewery uses their hops—DEYA leans into that clean IPA pop, while Verdant builds something with more texture. Neither is a heavy pour at 6.2-6.5%, so drink whichever matches your mood, not your stomach.

Tasting notes
INTO THE HAZE
INTO THE HAZE hits you with immediate grapefruit and mandarin—the kind of juice-forward opening that makes you take another sip right away. There's a clean mineral backbone that keeps it from getting sweet or cloying. The finish is dry and snappy, with no lingering bitterness despite the 60 IBUs. It's the kind of beer that tastes effortless, like DEYA dialed in exactly what they were after and didn't overthink it.
Tender Thorns x TATE
Tender Thorns x TATE feels more purposeful, more textured on your palate. There's stone fruit—apricot, peach—but underneath it sits this herbal, almost pine-like earthiness that suggests serious hop knowledge. The collaboration aspect comes through; you sense two breweries in conversation here, not just one vision. It's slightly fuller-bodied than INTO THE HAZE, with a finish that lingers just long enough to make you think about what you're tasting.
