hopIQ found 10 beers with the same fruity and tropical character as Balter XPA. The beer the brewery was built around: a pale ale carrying tropical and floral hop aromatics over a light malt base. Passionfruit and citrus lead the palate with stone fruit underneath, and the fruity bitterness stays moderate right through the finish. At 5.0 percent it is aimed at drinkability rather than intensity, which is how it has held a place in the GABS Hottest 100 every year since 2016. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
