HOPIQ TAKE
Norn Pale Ale if you want a cleaner, more straightforward hop experience, Trippin Flowers if you want something with more texture and complexity. Both sit at nearly identical ABV and IBU, so the real difference is in how each brewery chose to express their pale ale philosophy. Norn feels like a brewery confident in restraint—letting quality ingredients speak plainly. Trippin Flowers seems to be playing with layering and mouthfeel, suggesting there's more deliberate craft in the construction.
