Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Goldihops if you want a crushable session beer with actual hop presence,
The Booth Hoppy Wheat if you want something softer that lets the grain shine.
Both sit in that approachable 3.8–4.3% range, but they're pulling in different directions. The Goldihops leans into its name with a crisp, peppery bite; The Booth plays it cooler, letting wheat sweetness cushion the hops. Pick based on whether you're craving snap or smoothness.

Goldihops
Goldihops hits you with a clean, lemony hop punch right from the pour—genuinely surprising for 20 IBUs. The ale backbone is tight and efficient, no fluff. There's a dry, slightly herbal finish that doesn't linger aggressively, which is exactly why this works as a session beer. You can taste Kelburn knew what they were doing with the grain bill; it stays out of the way and lets the hops do the talking.
The Booth Hoppy Wheat
The Booth Hoppy Wheat is built on a softer foundation—there's that creamy, almost silky mouthfeel you get from wheat that immediately sets it apart. The hops are there (14 IBUs), but they're more perfumy and restrained, almost floral against the grain sweetness. It finishes drier than you'd expect, which keeps it from feeling heavy. This is the beer that doesn't demand attention; it invites lingering.
