Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Oregon IPA if you want bright, snappy citrus energy,
Westbrook IPA if you want rounder malt backbone with restraint.
Both sit at nearly identical ABV and bitterness, so it's really about flavor direction—Skumenn leans forward, Westbrook leans back. Neither overstays its welcome; it's a mood call, not a quality call.

Oregon IPA
Oregon IPA hits you with immediate grapefruit and lime zest—clean, almost piercing. The body is lean and wiry; it doesn't try to hold you. There's a dry snap on the finish that makes you want another sip immediately. This is a beer that tastes like it's going somewhere.
Westbrook IPA
Westbrook IPA opens softer—there's actual sweetness underneath the hops, a subtle bread note that keeps things grounded. The bitterness is there (60 IBUs registered), but it's integrated rather than aggressive. The finish lingers just slightly longer, giving you time to appreciate the beer before your next drink.
