hopIQ found 10 beers with the same hoppy and light character as Victoria Bitter Mid Strength. The mid-strength version, launched nationally in March 2026 in place of the weaker VB Gold, keeps the house recipe of pale malt and Pride of Ringwood hops at 3.5 percent. The aroma is gently fruity, the body lighter, with a modest malt sweetness and a grainy edge. What sets it apart from most beers of this strength is the finish: a brisk, clean hop bitterness with an earthy tone that lingers briefly. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
