Furbrew Hanoi Pale Ale if you want more presence and body,
Nor'Hop if you want a leaner, crisper drink.
Both hit the same bitterness target at 38 IBUs, but that extra 0.9% ABV in the Hanoi makes a real difference—it rounds things out. The Hanoi feels more substantial in your mouth; Nor'Hop disappears faster, which is exactly what some days demand.

Furbrew Hanoi Pale Ale
The Hanoi sits fuller on the palate than you'd expect from a 5% pale ale. There's a malty backbone that doesn't scream—it just holds the hops steady. The bitterness isn't aggressive; it's clean and linear, letting you taste actual grain sweetness underneath. Finishes dry but not thin.
Nor'Hop
Nor'Hop is all snap and clarity. At 4.1%, it doesn't muscle around—it lets the hop bitterness speak without any malt cushioning it. Drier finish than the Hanoi, almost austere. This is the beer you drink when you want refreshment, not complexity. It disappears quickly, which works in its favor on a warm day.
