hopIQ found 10 beers with the same fruity and resinous character as Cluster 8. An imperial IPA at 8.8 percent, brewed as an annual release and long a fixture on the brewpub taps before it reached cans. Galaxy, Citra, Mosaic, Centennial, Simcoe and Amarillo pile up mango, pineapple, ripe peach and grapefruit, with resinous pine underneath. A heavy caramel malt base carries the alcohol and leaves a sticky sweetness that 65 IBU of bitterness cuts through rather than erases. It pours a deep, cloudy orange. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
