Beers similar to Dorset Gold

Golden Ale·United Kingdom·4.5% ABV·One of 164 Golden Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Dorset Gold's citrusy and fruity character. Fruity and citrusy, zesty and lightly hopped, this golden ale drinks refreshing and thirst-quenching, with less hop emphasis. Malted barley and wheat share the grist, and three times more wheat malt than in any other Palmers brew gives the beer its golden colour. Launched in 1999 as a 3.7% summer seasonal from the Jurassic Coast, it moved into the centre of the range.
