Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Lido if you want a slightly fuller, more assertive pale ale;
Overtone Pale Ale if you want something leaner and more sessionable.
Both sit at the same IBU level (38), so bitterness isn't the differentiator—it's the body and alcohol warmth. That half percent of ABV on Lido actually reads on the palate. Pick Lido when you're settling in for a slower drink, Overtone when you want to move through a few.

Lido
Lido has real presence. There's a malty backbone that doesn't feel heavy, but it's there—gives the beer a slight sweetness and texture that lingers. The hops are balanced, not aggressive, which lets you taste caramel notes underneath. It finishes with a gentle grip, the kind that makes you want another sip immediately.
Overtone Pale Ale
Overtone is cleaner, crisper. It drinks like it's already thought about your next move—minimal friction, maximum refreshment. The hop character is more direct and floral without being pushy. At 4.5%, it disappears easy, which is either its best feature or a reason to reach for something with more staying power.
