Beers similar to Humdinger

Joseph Holt Brewery

Golden Ale·United Kingdom·4.1% ABV·One of 139 Golden Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Humdinger's honey and malty character. Honey rises in the aroma and in subtle undertones on the palate, alongside floral and citrus notes, a zesty lift and the traditional bitterness and malt of an English ale. Mexican aroma honey, English malt and citrus whole hops go into this lightly hopped, lightly carbonated bottle at 4.1% ABV. It came to life after a win at a top brewing competition in 2004, and took gold at the 2026 International Brewing Awards.
