Beers similar to Summer Hero 2.0

West Coast IPA·Denmark·6% ABV·One of 266 West Coast IPAs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Summer Hero 2.0's resinous and citrusy character. A West Coast IPA with Simcoe, Citra and Cascade over a light malt base. Pine and resin come first, then grapefruit and lemon, with softer notes of honeydew and cantaloupe and a ghost of mint and basil at the back. Gently sweet, firmly bitter, crisp and dry, which the brewers call how a West Coast IPA should feel.
