Beers similar to Johnny Utah

Georgetown Brewing Company

American Pale Ale·United States·5.6% ABV·One of 283 American Pale Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Johnny Utah's citrusy and hoppy character. Johnny Utah arrives as a light-colored ale where the malt steps back deliberately, leaving room for an assertive citrus and pine register. Pronounced grapefruit, citrus, and pine resin notes lead the charge, undercut by a faint verdant whisper that keeps the beer grounded. The clean finish moves decisively through the palate without a cloying bitterness—a restraint that makes this 5.6% ale drink lighter than its character suggests. The structure feels aperitif-ready, inviting another pour before the glass empties. Gold at GABF 2019 confirmed what Seattle drinkers already knew: a pale ale that lets hop character speak without shouting.
