Mid-Strength Pale Ale·Australia·3.5% ABV·One of 21 Mid-Strength Pale Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Larry Jr.'s tropical and fruity character. Larry Jr. is the mid-strength offshoot of the brewery's flagship pale ale, brewed at 3.5 percent and added to the range in 2025. It keeps the fruit-led hop profile of the full-strength beer, with passionfruit, pineapple and mango at the front, over a lighter and thinner body. Lemon and a sweet pale-malt base sit underneath the fruit, and the bitterness stays gentle through a short, clean finish.
