Overall similarity
HOPIQ TAKE
Heart of Darkness Impermanence Pale Ale if you want a touch more weight and complexity, Overtone Pale Ale if you want something cleaner and more straightforward. Both sit at the same bitterness level and nearly identical ABV, so the real difference is mouthfeel—that extra 0.2% ABV in Heart of Darkness, combined with how they've built the body, makes a noticeable difference in how it lands. They're both solid neighborhood pale ales, just playing slightly different angles on the same style.
