Beers similar to Balter XPA

Balter Brewing Company

Extra Pale Ale·Australia·5% ABV·One of 43 Extra Pale Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Balter XPA's citrusy and tropical character. 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.
