hopIQ found 10 beers with the same bitter and resinous character as Balter IPA. At 6.8 percent and 72 IBU this is the strongest beer in the year-round range. A lean, clean malt base leaves the hops uncovered: pine and citrus on the nose, mandarin and resin across the palate, then a firm bitterness that carries long without turning coarse. It joined the permanent line-up in 2017 and has collected American-style IPA medals in most years since. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
Closest match: Lucille — 93%. Same bitterness and resin notes, with a berry edge Balter Brewing Company keeps quiet.
