Limonata Pale if you want bright, citrus-forward refreshment,
Pasteur Street Cyclo Pale Ale if you want slightly more backbone and complexity.
Both sit at a friendly 4–4.5% ABV with identical 38 IBUs, so they're genuinely close cousins—the difference is texture and intent rather than aggression. Wylam leans into the name; Pasteur Street lets the malt speak a bit louder.

Limonata Pale
Limonata Pale hits you with a clean lemon zest character that feels almost intentional—like they're playing with citrus as a flavor, not just a byproduct of the hops. The body is lean and snappy, designed to get out of the way. It's the kind of pale ale that doesn't linger; it refreshes and moves on. Perfect when you want something that tastes like a real thing (lemon) rather than just 'hoppy.'
Pasteur Street Cyclo Pale Ale
Cyclo Pale Ale carries a touch more weight—you feel the extra 0.3% ABV as a subtle warmth that grounds it. The citrus is there but softer, blending into a slightly grainy, biscuity middle that gives you something to chew on. It's more contemplative, less quenching. The balance feels deliberate, like they're showing restraint rather than chasing brightness.
