hopIQ found 10 beers with the same noble-hop and dry character as Shackles. Pale and Munich malts give this lager a biscuity, faintly honeyed base, while noble Hallertauer Mittelfrüh added late in the boil lays down a delicate floral and herbal spice. Bitterness stays low, so the malt carries the beer through a soft grainy middle to a clean, dry close. Bright gold in the glass under a fine white head. It was sold as Broken Shackles until the brand relaunch and still carries that name at most retailers. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
Closest match: Helles Lager — 93%. Same noble hop character and dryness, with a mineral edge James Squire keeps quiet.
