Beers similar to Original 16 Canadian Pale Ale

Great Western Brewing Company

Pale Ale·Canada·5% ABV·One of 660 Pale Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Original 16 Canadian Pale Ale's dry and floral character. Brewed from two-row prairie barley with five hop varietals and held through an extended aging period before packaging. It pours a warm saffron gold and leads with bread crust and honey malt, followed by a quiet herbal and floral hop note rather than any citrus push. Bitterness stays low throughout, and the finish is clean and dry with a faint grain sweetness left behind. Smooth and even-tempered from start to end.
