Beers similar to Mirror Pond

Pale Ale·United States·5% ABV·One of 737 Pale Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Mirror Pond's citrusy and orange-y character. Named after a stretch of the Deschutes River in downtown Bend, Mirror Pond is a tawny pale ale hopped only with Cascade. The hops bring grapefruit and orange-peel citrus with a light floral edge, set against caramel and bready malt from crystal, Munich and carapils. The body is smooth and fairly light, and the finish turns crisp with a moderate, clean bitterness.
