Beers similar to Balter IIPA

Double IPA·Australia·8% ABV·One of 264 Double IPAs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Balter IIPA's hoppy and citrusy character. A limited-release double IPA at 8.0 percent, first brewed in 2018 and brought back in 2025 after a five-year gap. Clean, weighty hop character carries the palate with pineapple, pine and citrus, and the finish turns dry and faintly spicy rather than sweet. The malt backbone is deliberately lean, so the alcohol shows up as warmth and body instead of residual sugar.
