hopIQ found 10 beers with the same tropical and bitter character as Bling. First brewed in 2007, Bling was one of the early modern Australian IPAs and still sits between two eras. Five hop varieties push tropical fruit and citrus to the front, mango, passionfruit and grapefruit, while melanoidin and red crystal malts set a caramel depth and a deeper amber colour against them than most current IPAs show. The bitterness stands firm at 45 IBU and carries through a long, dry finish that keeps the hop character running. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
