Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Loncium IPA if you want a cleaner, more assertive hop punch,
Southern Hops'pitality IPA if you want something smoother and more approachable.
Both clock in at basically identical IBUs (60) and similar ABV ranges, so the real difference is in the execution—Loncium leans into that crisp, forward bitterness that lingers, while Southern Hops'pitality sits back and lets the malt do more of the talking. Neither is objectively better; it's about whether you're in the mood to get smacked or hugged.

Loncium IPA
Loncium hits you immediately—there's a dry, almost piney snap right up front that doesn't apologize. The malt backbone is lean enough that the hops stay the star, and you can actually taste the bitterness resolve into something almost herbal as it warms. It's the kind of IPA that makes you sit up straighter.
Southern Hops'pitality IPA
Southern Hops'pitality is the more laid-back sibling. There's a grainy sweetness that cushions the hops, making the whole thing feel less aggressive even though the IBUs match. The finish is softer, rounder—more like biting into a peach than a grapefruit. Honestly, it's easier to pound a few of these without getting fatigued.
