Beers similar to 805 Blonde Ale

Blonde Ale·United States·4.7% ABV·One of 201 Blonde Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share 805 Blonde Ale's bready and malty character. 805 is named after the telephone area code of California's Central Coast and has been brewed under its own brand in Paso Robles since 2012. It is a light blonde ale with a clear golden colour and a modest white head. Soft cereal and honeyed malt lead the nose, joined by floral hops, a hint of pear and a touch of citrus. The palate is bready and mildly sweet with a trace of lemon, bitterness stays in the background, and the finish is clean, dry and quick.
