hopIQ found 10 beers with the same dry and crisp character as X Marks the Spot. An extra pale ale hopped with a blend of American and Australian varieties, added at cooler whirlpool temperatures to hold on to the more delicate aromatics. Juicy pineapple leads, with bright citrus behind it and a faint hoppy spice at the edge. The malt base stays clean and the body light, while the bitterness is firmer than the aroma suggests, and the finish is crisp and dry. Released in limited runs rather than year-round. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
