hopIQ found 10 beers with the same clean and crisp character as Cal Poly Gold. Cal Poly Gold is an all-malt lager brewed with the nearby university in San Luis Obispo, whose graduates work throughout the brewery. The recipe uses pilsner, pale, Munich and light crystal malt with Spalter Select and Hallertau Tradition, fermented entirely in stainless steel. It pours golden and clear, with soft bread and water cracker in the nose, a hint of honeyed grain, faint herbal and floral hop spice and a light body that ends crisp and clean with little bitterness. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
