The Call if you want restraint and balance,
TropiCannon if you want hop aggression.
Both sit at 5% ABV, so they're equally crushable, but Burning Sky's playing a quieter game—The Call feels like a conversation, while TropiCannon is more of a shout. The 20 IBU gap matters more than the numbers suggest; you'll actually *feel* it.

The Call
The Call is what happens when a brewer respects the session format. There's real citrus here—orange peel, not juice—and it finishes clean without that lingering bitterness that can exhaust you by the third pour. Burning Sky nailed the trick: enough character to matter, enough restraint to drink three of them. It's disciplined.
TropiCannon
TropiCannon doesn't whisper. You get mango, pineapple, and a herbal bite that Heavy Seas clearly intended as the main event. The bitterness sits right up front and doesn't back down—60 IBUs in a tropical IPA means they're using hops as punctuation, not garnish. It's a beer that demands attention, which some days is exactly what you need.
