hopIQ found 10 beers that share SDR's bitter and noble-hoppy character. A pale, refreshing ale with a clean, balanced bitterness, brewed with two malts and German and Czech hops. SDR came to life in 2013 with Smach's first craft batches. One of Smach's four permanent beers, it is unfiltered and unpasteurised, and it carbonates naturally through a second fermentation in the bottle.
