Beers similar to Not Always Present

Kölsch·United States·4.8% ABV·One of 74 Kölschs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Not Always Present's noble-hoppy and malty character. Sweet fruit character from German Pilsner malt meets a crackery, bready finish in this traditional Kölsch-style ale. German noble hops, with Perle and Saphir named, round it out, and at 4.8% it is a crusher and a true all-day drinker. It comes around in rotation. Dancing Gnome in Pittsburgh has widened from hop-forward beginnings to traditional styles from around the globe.
