hopIQ found 10 beers with the same citrusy and dry character as Surf Bird. Surf Bird is a pilsner-style lager hopped entirely with New Zealand varieties, Motueka, Nelson Sauvin and Riwaka, and fermented with a Belgian lager yeast. Maine-grown pilsner malt and flaked brown rice keep the body light. It pours pale straw with a tall white head. Citrus, grapefruit zest and tropical fruit such as mango lead, with grassy, floral and herbal hop notes and a hint of pear and white pepper over soft pale grain, finishing crisp, dry and lightly bittersweet. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
