Beers similar to Throwback

Kilter Brewing Co.

West Coast IPA·Canada·7% ABV·One of 171 West Coast IPAs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Throwback's resinous and dry character. A deliberately old-school IPA: clear amber gold, thin head, and a bitterness that stays present from the first sip through the finish. Golden Promise malt lays down a light biscuit base. Aggressive dry-hopping with Centennial, Simcoe and Amarillo brings pine resin, grapefruit pith and a sharp herbal dankness, with orange peel underneath. The body is lean and the finish dry and drawn out.
