Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Lido if you want a beer with enough body to feel substantial,
Nor'Hop if you want something leaner and more delicate.
Both sit at 38 IBUs, so bitterness is a wash—the difference is in malt backbone. Lido's extra alcohol (5% vs 4.1%) adds warmth and weight; Nor'Hop feels like it was engineered for drinkability. Pick based on appetite and time of day, not hop character.

Lido
Lido lands with a proper heft for a pale ale. There's caramel sweetness underneath the citrus—not cloying, but it's there. The bitterness finishes clean without any harshness, and the extra half percent of alcohol gives it a gentle warming sensation that lingers. Feels like a beer designed to be the main event, not a session opener.
Nor'Hop
Nor'Hop drinks like someone distilled a pale ale down to its essentials. It's crisp without being thin, with that characteristic Moor Beer restraint—citrus and resin show up but don't dominate. The lower ABV makes it snap off the palate faster, which is either refreshing or forgettable depending on your mood. Great as beer number two or three.
