JUPA

Tap to rate

Juicy and fruity, with bold citrus flavours and a tropical fruit character of pineapple, mango and papaya. Simcoe goes in the boil, Citra and Mosaic go in as dry hops, and a touch of wheat and oats gives a silky malt backbone. The brewery describes it as crushable and added it to its core range. The bottle version has 5.5% ABV. Bottles can carry a little sediment, so store them upright and pour slowly.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with prominent citrus—particularly grapefruit and bergamot—layered over distinct tropical fruit notes of pineapple, mango, and papaya from the Citra and Mosaic hops. Beneath these sits a clean, slightly sweet malt foundation with soft grainy and oat-derived notes that ground the aromatics without dominating.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy tropical and citrus character that mirrors the aroma, establishing immediate vibrancy. A silky malt backbone built from wheat and oats provides body and smoothness without heaviness, while moderate bitterness arrives mid-palate—crisp and balanced rather than aggressive—finishing with lingering citrus and stone fruit notes.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
