Seven Bro7hers Session IPA if you want to stay sharp and keep the hops restrained,
Stone Go To IPA if you want a bit more body to anchor those same IBUs.
Both nail the session IPA brief at nearly identical bitterness, but the ABV difference—3.8% versus 4.5%—actually matters over multiple rounds. Seven Bro7hers feels like the choice for a long afternoon; Stone feels like the choice for flavor that lingers.

Seven Bro7hers Session IPA
Seven Bro7hers hits you with a clean, almost tea-like bitterness that doesn't overstay its welcome. There's a mineral dryness on the finish that reminds me of biting into a grapefruit rind—sharp but not aggressive. The body is genuinely light; this is a beer that disappears fast, which is exactly the point. I notice the hop character more on the second sip than the first, like it's revealing itself slowly rather than punching you.
Stone Go To IPA
Stone Go To has more backbone. The extra 0.7% ABV gives it a slightly fuller mouthfeel that makes the 40 IBUs feel rounder, less knife-edged. There's a subtle sweetness underneath—maybe a touch of caramel malt—that Seven Bro7hers doesn't lean on. The finish is longer and slightly sticky in the best way, like the beer actually wants to stay with you for a moment.
