Beers similar to Lake Effect IPA

Great Lakes Brewery

American IPA·Canada·7% ABV·One of 422 American IPAs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Lake Effect IPA's citrusy and dry character. Hazy orange under a tight, snow-white head. Grapefruit, mango and tangerine in the aroma. The body is medium with subtle malt behind a balanced bitterness, and the flavour turns to grapefruit, wintergreen and a soft touch of pine. The finish comes out dry. Built around North American hops, with oats and wheat alongside barley malt. The brewery releases it in winter.
