Blonde Ale·United Kingdom·3.8% ABV·One of 84 Blonde Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Hopster's citrusy and malty character. Hopster's zesty, zingy citrus hit comes from plenty of Citra hops on a base of malt, wheat and flaked rice. The blonde ale began as a steampunk-inspired mix of the traditional and the contemporary and joined Hydes' core range as its newest member. Brewed all year at the Beer Studio in Salford; at 3.8% ABV, no hipster credentials required.
