Whatever you like to drink is the stock answer of course but I would pick a pale ale because they are pretty forgiving. Or if you are somewhere hot, like I am, a saison to lean into it.
edited to say as you are trying to show someone new and success is so motivating
if you want to experiment with something more unusual I totally understand, i'd like to take another crack at a gose. the first time I tried it came out undrinkably salty
