Goldihops if you want to ease into your evening,
Granville Island English Bay Pale Ale if you want real hop presence and bite.
Goldihops is Scottish restraint—low alcohol, gentle IBUs, designed to slip down without ceremony. English Bay is a proper pale ale that actually tastes like one: more booze, double the bitterness, and enough character to justify ordering it.

Goldihops
Goldihops sneaks up on you in the best way. It's got this clean, almost biscuity malt backbone that feels substantial for 3.8%, but the hops stay polite—just enough floral edge to keep it from being boring. Drinks like a session beer that actually respects your palate. No sharp edges, no pretension.
Granville Island English Bay Pale Ale
English Bay hits different. You get actual pine and citrus peel notes upfront, backed by a noticeable resin bite that lingers. The 5% ABV sits in your chest a bit longer, and the 38 IBUs aren't just numbers—they're a real presence. This is the beer you order when you want to taste hops, not just drink something cold.
