Beers similar to Fresh Hop Timbo

Highland Park Brewery

West Coast Pilsner·United States·5.8% ABV·One of 21 West Coast Pilsners in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Fresh Hop Timbo's hoppy and dry character. Fresh Hop Timbo is the harvest-season version of Timbo Pils, released in autumn 2025 and again in 2026. It keeps the frame of a crisp German-style pilsner with the hop intensity of a West Coast IPA, but the Mosaic and Citra arrive as freshly harvested cryo hops. The pairing gives juicy notes of orange, grapefruit and mango with a green, resinous edge from the fresh hops, set against a clean pale malt base and a dry, snappy finish at 5.8 percent.
