Beers similar to Emelisse Tropical Ale

Blonde Ale·Netherlands·5% ABV·One of 186 Blonde Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Emelisse Tropical Ale's tropical and malty character. Orange takes centre stage in the aroma, a tropical trip straight out of the glass. On the palate a light grainy malt tone sits underneath, and a subtle bitterness rounds the whole thing off. At 5.0% this is Emelisse's own take on ale, a label broad enough to cover English bitters and Belgian blondes alike.
