hopIQ found 10 beers with the same citrusy and bitter character as Hawkers West Coast IPA. Brewed clear and hard bittered in the older American manner, though the hop bill mixes New Zealand varieties in rather than staying purely American. Grapefruit peel and orange lead, with pine resin and a dry herbal edge behind them, and the malt is kept lean so nothing softens the bitterness. It finishes long and dry, the bitterness lingering well past the fruit. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
Closest match: Canton de l'Ouest — 93%. Same citrus notes and bitterness, with a dank edge Hawkers Beer keeps quiet.
