Beers similar to Cold Pale Ale

Pale Ale·United States·5.5% ABV·One of 607 Pale Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Cold Pale Ale's piney and hoppy character. Fermented and brewed like a lager but hopped like a pale ale: slightly grainy, clean and crisp, with a small amount of hoppy freshness and big pine and grapefruit aroma. Helios, Columbus, Adeena, Cascade and Chinook go in, it runs 5.5% with 25 IBU, and the brewery itself puts the question in the title: a lager or an ale?
