Beers similar to Malheur 8

Belgian Blonde Ale·Belgium·8% ABV·One of 102 Belgian Blonde Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Malheur 8's hoppy and dry character. Two months in the brewery's cellars shape this natural blond. Lemon and grapefruit lead the nose, with flowers and a faint spiciness behind them; in the glass it turns extremely dry and clearly hopped, with good maltiness, a little hay and a fine, well-dosed bitterness. Later sherry-like notes surface, close to a bone-dry fino, and the finish runs long.
