Beers similar to Guinness Baltimore Blonde

Blonde Ale·Ireland·5% ABV·One of 148 Blonde Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Guinness Baltimore Blonde's citrusy and dry character. The flagship of the Guinness brewery in Baltimore, introduced in 2013 and brewed in the United States with the house yeast and Citra and Mosaic hops. It is golden and brilliantly clear. The aroma is clean and hop-led, with citrus, grapefruit and orange peel over a light cracker malt. The palate is dry and crisp, the malt sweetness restrained, and a citrus bitterness carries into a short finish. The lightest beer in the range and the only one not brewed in Dublin.
