Beers similar to Hirsch Gold

Hirsch Brauerei Honer

Dortmunder Export·Germany·5.2% ABV·One of 101 Dortmunder Exports in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Hirsch Gold's malty and bready character. Hirsch Brauerei's Gold is a Dortmunder Export in the old tradition — fuller in body, richer in malt sweetness than its Pils cousins. Golden-amber, smooth and grainy with a pronounced malt character, but firm hop bitterness (25 IBU) keeps it balanced and dry at the finish. It won WBA 2024 for good reason: this is the shape of a beer that knows exactly what it is.
