I do fancy a nice hoppy IPA but not a heavy malty one - something more astringent and citrussy. And nothing too far above 5% abv. Anyone got any tips?

cheers


I can only comment on white desert wines. Try a sweet riesling. Not too sweet and quite refreshing. Gewurztraminer is my favourite, whether as a straight white wine or a desert wine. It has many styles and some overlap. Otherwise Muscat can be pleasant as a desert wine.
