Beers similar to Theakston Lightfoot

Blonde Ale·United Kingdom·4.1% ABV·One of 88 Blonde Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Theakston Lightfoot's citrusy and floral character. Blonde and hop-forward, Lightfoot greets with a subtle honey aroma, then turns zesty and floral, bursting with citrus from generous German Perle and Mittelfrüh hops over Munich malt. It is named after the only other brewery in Masham, which Theakston took over in 1919, and began as a seasonal ale before becoming a permanent beer in 2010.
