Beer Alternatives
hopIQ found 10 beers with the same tropical and hoppy character as Jake New Zealand Pale Ale. Bellazzi's New Zealand-inspired pale ale — named Jake and loaded with southern hemisphere hops for a distinctly tropical and fruity character unlike anything in the local Italian beer scene. Bright straw-gold with a white head; the nose is vivid with passion fruit, lychee, fresh lime and a soft floral quality typical of NZ varieties. The palate is refreshingly light and dry with lively hop flavour, a soft bitterness and a clean, fruit-forward finish that makes it dangerously drinkable at 5.0%. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
