Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Melcher Street if you want citrus brightness and snap,
Rhode Trip if you want creamy texture and stone fruit depth.
Both hit identical ABV and IBU targets, so this is really about juice character and mouthfeel. Melcher Street leans northeast coastal—zippy and clean. Rhode Trip feels rounder, like it's had time to settle into itself.

Melcher Street
Melcher Street grabs you with grapefruit zest and a white pepper bite that lingers on your tongue. The body's lean—almost crisp for a NEIPA—which lets those citrus notes shine without getting muddy. It's the kind of beer that tastes like someone cracked open a fresh can at the ocean.
Rhode Trip
Rhode Trip opens with peach and apricot, soft around the edges. There's a silky, almost creamy quality that sits on your palate longer than Melcher Street. The finish is gentle but lingering, with hints of vanilla and a subtle earthiness that grounds the whole thing.
