hopIQ found 10 beers with the same earthy and caramel character as Northern Pub Ale. An ESB-style ale brewed with imported British malt and hops. Deep copper in the glass, with caramel, toast and a biscuity malt base carrying the aroma. The hopping adds earthy, herbal and lightly floral tones and a marmalade edge, and the bitterness is firm and drying without turning sharp. Medium-bodied and balanced, finishing on malt rather than on hops. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
