hopIQ take
Randalls Patois if you want restraint and balance,
Theresianer Pale Ale if you want hop presence and grip.
Both nail the English ale template, but they're pulling in slightly different directions—Patois plays it close to the chest at 4.2%, while Theresianer leans into the extra alcohol and 10 more IBU to give you something with more teeth. Neither is loud, but one's definitely more talkative.

Randalls Patois
Patois sits in that sweet spot where bitterness feels like a suggestion, not a demand. There's a malty backbone that keeps things grounded—bread crust, a whisper of caramel—and the hops are more about structure than flavor. It's the kind of beer that doesn't announce itself, which is exactly the point. Low ABV means you can actually taste the brewing choices rather than alcohol burn.
Theresianer Pale Ale
Theresianer's got more swagger. That extra 0.8% ABV and 10 IBU points give it visible shoulders—the hop bitterness has real presence, not delicate at all. You get citrus notes and a drying finish that lingers in a good way. It's still fundamentally balanced, but it's a beer that wants you to pay attention to what's happening in the glass.
