Beers similar to Santa Fe Pale Ale

American Pale Ale·United States·5.4% ABV·One of 338 American Pale Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Santa Fe Pale Ale's hoppy and bitter character. The first beer of the house: in 1988 the first batch was brewed with old equipment in a horse stable. Today's version is a hoppier New Mexican take on English pale ale, with a subtle, almost Pilsner-like maltiness, German yeast and a classic hop bite. Cascade, Cluster and Willamette shape a pronounced hop nose. 5.4% ABV, 50 IBU.
