hopIQ take
SUMMER ALE if you want sessionable and dry,
Welde No.7 if you want more grip and substance.
Both sit at 35 IBUs, so bitterness isn't the differentiator—it's the weight. SUMMER ALE drinks like it's designed for a long afternoon; Welde No.7 feels like it's asking you to pay attention. The 0.7% ABV gap matters less than the brewing philosophy behind each.

SUMMER ALE
SUMMER ALE is lean and clean—you feel the alcohol dissolve immediately, leaving just a whisper of herbal hop and a bone-dry finish. It's the kind of pale ale that doesn't announce itself; instead, it lets you keep drinking without thinking twice. There's a subtle grain sweetness underneath, but it never gets in the way of drinkability.
Welde No.7 Pale Ale
Welde No.7 has backbone. The extra alcohol sits in the glass, giving you a slightly fuller mouthfeel that reads as more substantial. The hops are greener, more forward—think fresh-cut grass and a hint of citrus skin. It's the kind of beer that tastes better when you're actually tasting it, not just reaching for the next sip.
