Beers similar to Alpha Pale Ale

Matilda Bay Brewing Company

Pale Ale·Australia·5.2% ABV·One of 659 Pale Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Alpha Pale Ale's hoppy and citrusy character. Alpha Pale Ale grew out of a brewing team visit to breweries in the American Northwest and takes its name from the alpha acids that give hops their bitterness. Hops go in early and late in the boil and again as a dry hop, with Cascade and Amarillo named in the original recipe. It pours deep amber. Grapefruit, lemon zest and a dusting of spice lead the aroma; a firm malt sweetness with a biscuit note meets a pronounced, lingering bitterness.
