hopIQ found 10 beers with the same toasty and light character as Ghost Trail Dark Lager. Dark in the glass, light on the palate — the contrast is the point the brewery makes itself. Dark malt supplies the nose with cocoa, toast and a hint of coffee, without the weight the colour suggests. Cold fermentation keeps the body slim and the finish clean, and at 17 IBU there is little hop presence, so the roast provides what dryness there is. Named after the abandoned railway line through the Kettle Valley. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
