Beers similar to Waves

Hazy Pale Ale·Canada·5% ABV·One of 163 Hazy Pale Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Waves's hazy and citrusy character. A pale ale kept deliberately light: hazy gold in the glass, moderate carbonation and a soft rather than crisp mouthfeel. Dry-hopping with El Dorado and Citra sets up tangerine and melon on the nose, with a green, faintly herbal edge underneath. Malt stays in the background as a light bread note, the bitterness is low, and the beer finishes short and clean with a trace of lime zest.
