hopIQ found 10 beers with the same caramel and malty character as Nine Tales. Copper-red and malt-driven, built on pale and crystal malts that bring toffee and caramel sweetness with a nutty, bready close. Super Pride and Willamette set a citrus and lightly herbal counterpoint against that sweetness, and the bitterness lands mid-range at 20 IBU. Fuller in body than the strength suggests, with a soft, rounded feel through the middle. In the range longer than any current beer, sold for years simply as James Squire Amber Ale. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
