hopIQ found 10 beers with the same tropical and citrusy character as Howzit Punch. Howzit Punch from Alvarado Street Brewery in Salinas, California pours a hazy golden-amber hue with a whisper of white foam. This Gold Medal-winning 2026 World Beer Cup fruited kettle sour opens with an inviting tropical bouquet of sun-ripened passionfruit, zesty orange, and lush guava — transporting the senses straight to a Pacific shoreline. On the palate, the bright, clean acidity of the kettle souring process keeps everything lively and refreshing, while the fruit character remains generous and genuine rather than artificial. The mouthfeel is light and smooth, making each sip effortlessly drinkable. The finish is crisp and tartly satisfying, with lingering tropical sweetness that rounds out this vibrant, California-crafted crowd-pleaser beautifully. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
