Beers similar to American Pale Ale

American Pale Ale·Switzerland·5.5% ABV·One of 295 American Pale Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share American Pale Ale's hoppy and bitter character. The spicy, full-bodied pale Kitchen Brew in the North American style: a malty body with light residual sweetness, light caramel notes, a pleasantly present bitterness and spicy hops. Dark golden and unfiltered, 5.5 % ABV from a 13.8° Plato wort, made from Vienna, Munich and caramel malt with Cascade and Mosaic hops. North America has reinterpreted the traditional English Pale Ale in a playful way, and this is Kitchen Brew's take, poured since April 2015.
