Hockley Gold if you want to stay sharp and session-friendly,
Revolution Cross of Gold if you want actual substance and depth.
Both nail that golden ale middle ground—clean, approachable, zero gimmicks—but they're built for different moments. The ABV gap is real: nearly 2 percentage points changes everything about how these sit in your glass and your night.

Hockley Gold
Hockley Gold drinks like a beer that knows exactly what it is. It's bright and crisp without being thin—there's a subtle malt sweetness that keeps it from tasting like a light lager, but nothing heavy. At 3.9%, you feel the alcohol disappear almost immediately, which is exactly the point. Perfect for a long afternoon or when you need to stay present.
Revolution Cross of Gold
Revolution Cross of Gold has more vertebrae to it. The extra ABV gives it a slightly fuller mouthfeel and a touch of warmth that lingers just long enough to remind you you're drinking beer, not soda water. The same 20 IBU doesn't make either one bitter, but here it feels more integrated—more of a flavor presence than a whisper.
