hopIQ found 10 beers with the same citrusy and tropical character as Newtowner 3.5. The mid-strength reading of the house pale ale, brewed with the same hops as the original, Cascade, Galaxy, Topaz and Vic Secret, over Caramalt, Dexter and pale malt. Passion fruit and citrus lead the aroma, carried by a fuller malt backbone than 3.5 per cent would suggest, and the finish stays light with a balanced bitterness at 15 IBU. Released in January 2026 as a sessionable companion to Newtowner. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
