Collision if you want hop character and bite,
Goldihops if you want approachable ease.
Collision's 38 IBUs and American pale ale profile deliver actual bitterness and citrus snap—it's got backbone. Goldihops leans golden ale softness at 3.8% ABV and just 20 IBUs, so it won't challenge you, just ease you in. Pick based on whether you're in the mood to *taste* beer or just enjoy a drink.

Collision
Collision hits with that classic American pale ale resin—pine and grapefruit up front, not subtle. The 4.5% ABV gives it enough weight to back up the hops without feeling heavy. There's a dry finish that sticks around, which means you're actually engaging with each sip rather than letting it disappear. This is a beer that demands attention in the best way.
Goldihops
Goldihops is disarmingly simple—light grain sweetness, minimal hop aggression, clean finish. At 3.8% ABV it's almost delicate, which sounds weak but isn't; it's just *restrained*. You get subtle honey notes and a touch of floral character from those 20 IBUs, but nothing sharp. It's the beer you reach for when you want refreshment without ideology.
