Beers similar to Golden Ale

Golden Ale·Sweden·5.2% ABV·One of 139 Golden Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Golden Ale's floral and malty character. The beer that started Oppigårds — brewed on New Year's Eve 2003 and still their foundational pour. British-Isles inspiration, medium body, clean malt, and moderate bitterness from Cascade, Centennial, and East Kent Golding. Now organic, still recognisable as the original recipe two decades on.
