hopIQ found 10 beers with the same bitter and earthy character as VB Mid. VB Mid is the mid-strength Victoria Bitter, introduced in 2026 and built to hold the bitterness of the original rather than soften it. Pride of Ringwood hops lay an earthy, herbaceous aroma over sweet grain, and the malt backbone stays clean and full enough to carry the snapping bitter finish. Golden straw in the glass, medium-light in body and drier through the middle than the full-strength version. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
