Beers similar to Cruel Summer

hopIQ found 10 beers with the same citrusy and hoppy character as Cruel Summer. A Cold IPA fermented clean with lager yeast, pale straw in colour and brilliantly clear. Citra and Mandarina Bavaria in the whirlpool lay down sweet mandarin and orange peel; a heavy dry hop of Motueka and Riwaka adds crushed lime, zesty grapefruit and passion fruit. It sits between a crisp New Zealand-style pilsner and a hop-forward IPA: light, yet a little rounder than a classic lager, with a smooth, firm bitterness to finish. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
