Beers similar to GPA

Pale Ale·United Kingdom·4.4% ABV·One of 503 Pale Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share GPA's dry and grassy character. GPA, short for German Pale Ale, is the hop-led ale in the WEST range and a nod to the pale ales and IPAs of Britain and America. A little wheat in the grist keeps it light and fresh. The aroma is floral and grassy; German hops bring a slight herbal note, while American aroma hops add flavours of dried lemon and black pepper over a bready, biscuit-like malt base. The body is light and the finish elegantly dry, with a restrained bitterness.
