Overall similarity
HOPIQ TAKE
King Sue if you want a cleaner, more drinkable hazy that sneaks up on you, Lumber Sexual if you want a beer that announces itself with weight and texture. Both clock the same IBU, but King Sue's 7.8% ABV lets the hop character breathe without the booze burn, while Lumber Sexual's extra 0.6% and slightly denser malt bill create a noticeably fuller mouthfeel. They're both capable double IPAs—it's about whether you're chasing precision or presence.
