Pentonville Pale if you want to ease into your session,
Sneakbox if you want a beer that actually fills your mouth.
Both clock the same bitterness, but Pentonville's lower ABV makes it dangerously drinkable—you'll barely notice you're three deep. Sneakbox brings enough weight that you'll feel it, which matters if you're eating or want something that lingers.

Pentonville Pale
Pentonville Pale is the kind of beer that disappears too fast. It's got a clean, almost neutral malt backbone with just enough caramel sweetness to keep it interesting, but the hops stay polite—citrus zest without aggression. The 4.5% ABV means it goes down like a conversation; you won't get tired of it, which is exactly the problem.
Sneakbox
Sneakbox has real presence. There's a fuller grain bed underneath, toasty almost, that gives the beer substance. The hops—same IBU as Pentonville—hit harder because they've got more beer to push through. You get pine, resin, and a drying finish that actually makes you want another sip instead of just reaching for one.
