hopIQ take
Jarl if you want a proper pale ale bite,
The Booth Hoppy Wheat if you want soft, drinkable grain character.
Jarl's 35 IBUs actually land harder than you'd expect at 3.8%—it's got a backbone. The Booth is deceptively low-IBU for something labeled 'hoppy,' so you're getting wheat ale smoothness with subtle hop whispers, not shouting.

Jarl
Jarl surprises you. It's lean and crisp, but there's real hop presence—grassy, slightly herbal, with a pithy finish that clings to your palate. The 3.8% ABV means it drinks faster than you plan, but that's partly the point: it's got the kind of drinkability that doesn't sacrifice character. Scottish pale ales do this thing where low alcohol somehow feels stronger because there's nowhere to hide.
The Booth Hoppy Wheat
The Booth is fuzzy and approachable—the wheat base gives you this soft, almost creamy mouthfeel that wheat beers do best. The 'hoppy' label is underselling it; at 14 IBUs you're getting restrained hop character, more herbal tea than citrus punch. It's the kind of beer that keeps disappearing from your glass because it's so easy to drink.
