hopIQ found 10 beers with the same clean and bready character as Labatt Crystal. Crystal is a recipe dating back to the late 1800s and the company still brews it in Ontario. Saaz hops set the tone: light spice and dried herbs over a cereal, faintly bready malt aroma. The beer is bright, clear and pale amber, the body fuller than the pilsner-style lagers in the same range, and a mild hop bitterness carries a clean, slightly sweet finish. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
