hopIQ found 10 beers with the same citrusy and smooth character as USS Tulsa. The USS Tulsa trades the aggressive bite of a typical West Coast IPA for something gentler. Oats woven into the malt bill add body and a subtle earthiness that rounds the beer's frame, while modern hops—Citra, Galaxy, and Nelson Sauvin—layer bright citrus notes across the palate. The result is far less bitter than its West Coast cousins, making this a beer built for drinking longer into an evening rather than as a sharp opening statement. At 6.2% and 70 IBU, it balances restraint with flavour, the oats lending a silky texture that carries the hop character without harsh edges. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
