hopIQ found 10 beers with the same citrusy and tropical character as Gaffel SonnenHopfen. Gaffel SonnenHopfen is the brewery's Cologne Pale Ale: top-fermented, unfiltered and naturally hazy, hopped exclusively with Citra from the Yakima Valley, always from a single harvest year to keep the character steady. At 4.9 percent and just 10 IBU the bitterness stays in the background. The hop brings lime, grapefruit and ripe lemon with tropical fruit and melon, plus floral, grassy and herbal notes, while soft malt and a spicy yeast note carry the light, fresh body into a dry finish. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
