Firestone 805 if you want to coast through the evening,
Wild Heaven Emergency Drinking Beer if you want actual flavor to chase. 805 is the definition of approachable—it's designed not to demand anything from you, while Emergency has enough hop character to keep your palate engaged.
The ABV difference is negligible, but that IBU gap (15 vs. 40) is the whole story: one's a beach beer, the other's a thinking person's session ale.

Firestone 805
805 slides down like it was engineered in a wind tunnel. Golden, almost transparent, with this bready malt backbone that never overstays its welcome. You get a whisper of citrus on the finish, but it's so polite it almost apologizes for being there. It's the beer equivalent of a well-tailored button-up—effective because it doesn't try too hard.
Wild Heaven Emergency Drinking Beer
Emergency Drinking Beer hits different. There's actual herbal, peppery hop bite that shows up immediately and lingers just long enough to remind you what you're drinking. The malt is lean but present—supports the hops without trying to balance them out. It's crisp like 805, but with backbone. This one asks you to pay attention.
