Beers similar to Tower X

Karl Strauss Brewing Company

West Coast IPA·United States·7.3% ABV·One of 199 West Coast IPAs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Tower X's resinous and piney character. Piney, resinous aromas open the glass, followed by a wave of fruity, citrusy hop flavor. Six hops build this 7.3% West Coast IPA: Citra, Chinook, Cascade, Centennial, Simcoe and Sultana. The X in the name tips a hat to the independent radio station 91X and to Lifeguard Tower 10 in Mission Beach, where the brewery first decided to give brewing a go back in 1989.
