Beers similar to Number Eight

Pale Ale·United Kingdom·4.4% ABV·One of 548 Pale Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Number Eight's malty and bitter character. Brewed for the Six Nations and other major rugby union tournaments as a nod to rugby and real ale: full-bodied and malty, with honey, an earthy, spicy edge, a blackcurrant aroma from the locally grown Bramling Cross hop and a crisp bitterness in the finish. Amber in the glass, it returns whenever the World Cup or the Six Nations does.
