Beers similar to HooDoo Best Bitter

Best Bitter·United States·5% ABV·One of 116 Best Bitters in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share HooDoo Best Bitter's bitter and caramel character. Soft biscuit, bread crust and gentle caramel from a pale malt backbone, then smooth earthy bitterness with delicate herbal and floral aromatics from Fuggles, Northern Brewer and Tettnang hops layered through the boil. A clean English ale yeast leaves subtle esters and a rounded mouthfeel. 5.0% ABV, 25 IBU – restrained and balanced rather than sweet.
