Beer Alternatives
hopIQ found 10 beers with the same hoppy and citrusy character as Ichthyosaur IPA. Named after Nevada's state fossil, the Icky IPA has been the flagship since day one in 1993. Cascade hops drive citrus-and-pine bitterness over a caramel malt backbone — balanced enough to convert non-IPA drinkers, bold enough to satisfy hopheads. Won silver at the 2006 World Beer Championships. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
