4 Pines Pacific Ale if you want understated elegance and restraint,
Seven Bro7hers Session IPA if you want hop character to actually announce itself.
Both sit in that dangerous low-ABV sweet spot where you can drink more than one, but the Pacific Ale plays it cool while the Session IPA leans into what makes IPAs fun. Neither will flatten your palate by dinner.

4 Pines Pacific Ale
The Pacific Ale drinks like someone whispered the recipe to the brewers. There's a pale malt sweetness that never gets cloying, and the hops show up as this gentle herbal suggestion rather than a shout. It's got restraint—the kind of beer that gets better the longer you sit with it, revealing stone fruit and a crisp, mineral finish that feels almost delicate.
Seven Bro7hers Session IPA
This one actually tastes like an IPA that respects session-drinking. The hop bill jumps out immediately—citrus, pine, something herbaceous—without the aggressive bitterness you'd expect from 40 IBU. There's enough malt backbone to give it presence, and it finishes dry enough that you'll want another sip, not another beer.
