Overall similarity

Goldihops if you want a sessionable golden ale with subtle hop character,
The Booth Hoppy Wheat if you want wheat's soft texture with a bit more kick.
Goldihops leans toward restraint—that low IBU means the malt drives the show, making it dangerously easy to have two. The Booth swaps some alcohol content for less bitterness, which sounds counterintuitive until you realize wheat beers mask strength beautifully.

Goldihops
Goldihops tastes like someone took a golden ale template and actually respected the 3.8% ceiling. You get a clean malt backbone with just enough honey-like sweetness to feel substantial, but the hops are a whisper—20 IBU means they're there to balance, not announce themselves. It drinks almost too smoothly; the danger is finishing your pint before you realize it.
The Booth Hoppy Wheat
The Booth Hoppy Wheat feels soft on the tongue in that wheat ale way, but there's a dry snap underneath that keeps it from being flabby. The lower IBU (14) lets the wheat's creamy, slightly grainy notes come forward without any bitter edge to cut through it. It's got a half-step more alcohol than Goldihops, which you'll feel as a gentle warmth rather than a punch.
