HOPIQ TAKE
Alfea if you want a pale ale with more presence and grip, Devil's Peak First Light if you want something leaner and more quenching. Both sit at the same IBU level (35), so bitterness won't separate them—it's really about body and how the malt sits in your mouth. Alfea's extra half percent ABV doesn't sound like much, but you'll feel it as a warmer, slightly rounder finish. Light wins on drinkability when you're just trying to stay hydrated.
