Harvest Pale if you want to drink lighter and longer,
Hurricane Jack if you want more presence in your glass.
Castle Rock's offering sits at 3.8% ABV—genuinely sessionable without tasting thin—while Fyne's brings a stockier 4.4%. The IBU difference is negligible (38 vs 35), so bitterness won't separate them; it's really about weight and staying power.

Harvest Pale
Harvest Pale drinks like a pale ale that remembers it's supposed to be approachable. There's clean malt backbone—nothing fancy, nothing overdone—and the hops arrive as a dry finish rather than a loud statement. At 3.8%, it disappears easy, which is exactly the point. You notice it's well-made only because nothing feels forced.
Hurricane Jack
Hurricane Jack has actual body. It's not heavy, but you feel the extra half percent of alcohol and a slightly fuller malt bed underneath. The hops lean toward herbal and measured rather than citrus-forward, which keeps it grounded. This one rewards sipping rather than gulping; there's texture to find.
