Beers similar to Cran Orange Wheat

Great Lakes Brewing Company

Fruit Wheat Ale·United States·5.5% ABV·One of 46 Fruit Wheat Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Cran Orange Wheat's fruity and tart character. The autumn member of the brewery's fruited wheat line, first released in September 2023 and brought back each fall since. Two-row malt, wheat and honey malt with Mt. Hood hops form the base; juice concentrates of both fruits go in with natural fruit flavors. It pours a hazy amber with a pink tint. Tart cranberry and sweet orange share the nose over soft, bready grain. The palate plays citrus sweetness against a bright, berry-like tartness, bitterness is low, and the finish is crisp.
