Beers similar to Balter LPA

Light Pale Ale·Australia·2.7% ABV·One of 1 Light Pale Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Balter LPA's tropical and citrusy character. A light pale ale at 2.7 percent, presented as a smaller sibling to the XPA rather than a stripped-back version of it. Bright citrus and tropical hop character sits over a crisp, clean malt body that stops the beer thinning out. The bitterness is there but slight, and the finish is short and dry. Added to the range in 2026, it is the lightest beer the brewery makes.
