Beers similar to A Cut Above

Golden Ale·United Kingdom·4% ABV·One of 119 Golden Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share A Cut Above's floral and spicy character. March's monthly cask is a dark golden English ale at 4.0% ABV. Vienna and Cara malts give colour and depth, while English Boadicea hops lend a light floral lift; hops and light malt show on the nose, and the palate carries a gentle blend of spicy and floral notes. A well-groomed entry in Hydes' 2026 hairstyle series.
