HOPIQ TAKE

Swing That Way Pale Ale if you want a little more backbone and grip, Track Pale Ale if you want something leaner and more sessionable. The half-percent ABV difference is negligible, but you'll feel it in Swing That Way's texture—there's more weight on your palate, more substance holding up those 38 IBUs. Track drinks cleaner, snappier, like it's built to disappear faster. Both nail the same bitterness target, but they're going after it from different angles.

TASTING NOTES

Swing That Way Pale Ale

HoppyCleanFruity

Swing That Way has real presence. There's a malty backbone that gives the pale ale structure—not heavy, but you notice it's there. The bitterness isn't sharp or aggressive; it's integrated, like it's part of the beer's architecture rather than an afterthought. Finishes slightly dry with a lingering herbal edge. It's the kind of pale ale that makes you slow down.

Track Pale Ale

HoppyCleanCrisp

Track is a sprinter. Clean malt base, bitterness that comes in clean and leaves clean, almost no lingering aftertaste. It's crisp without being thin—there's actual flavor here, just delivered efficiently. Drinks like the brewery knew exactly what they wanted: a pale ale that doesn't overstay its welcome. Perfect if you're drinking more than one.
