hopIQ take
Old Jurassic Gold if you want crisp, clean simplicity,
Revolution Cross of Gold if you want subtle complexity and a touch more weight.
Both sit at that perfect 5–5.5% sweet spot for session drinking, but they're built differently. The IBU gap is negligible—this is really about how each brewery approaches the golden ale formula. Pick based on mood: Printshop for straightforward satisfaction, Revolution for something with a bit more to discover.

Old Jurassic Gold
Old Jurassic Gold goes down like a friendly conversation. It's got that bright, almost pale-ale-adjacent character that doesn't overthink itself. There's a subtle honey sweetness that catches you on the middle palate, and the finish is clean enough that you immediately want another sip. At 22 IBUs, the bitterness is barely a whisper—this is about malt and drinkability, not complexity.
Revolution Cross of Gold
Revolution Cross of Gold feels slightly more intentional. The extra half percent ABV gives it a softer, rounder mouthfeel than you'd expect. There's a faint herbal note underneath that suggests some thought went into the hop selection, even at those restrained 20 IBUs. It finishes with a touch of residual sweetness that lingers just long enough to make you curious about what's next.
