hopIQ take
Firestone 805 if you want a clean, malt-forward cruise,
Wild Heaven Emergency Drinking Beer if you want actual hop bite.
Both sit in that easy-drinking 4.4–4.7% zone, but 805 leans into simplicity while Emergency Drinking Beer flexes with 40 IBUs—more than double. Pick 805 for sessions where you're not thinking too hard; pick Emergency Drinking Beer when you want a pils-style snap that keeps you engaged.

Firestone 805
805 slides down like it's apologizing for existing—in a good way. You get soft grain, a whisper of honey, nothing aggressive. It's the beer equivalent of a plain white t-shirt: you don't buy it for drama, you buy it because it fits. The finish is dry but not thin. Honestly, it's less about flavor and more about drinkability.
Wild Heaven Emergency Drinking Beer
This one actually tastes like someone had a vision. The pils character comes through—grassy, herbaceous, a little spicy. At 40 IBUs you feel the hops without getting flattened; it's restrained but present. The body has a little more texture than you'd expect at 4.4%, and it finishes with a mild bitterness that makes you want another sip instead of just another beer.
