Pomegranate IPA

Tap to rate

Pomegranate IPA is a 5.9 % IPA that pairs tropical fruit with a hint of pomegranate and a zesty edge. Fourpure added it to the range in 2022, at the same strength as Shape Shifter and Citrus IPA, and set out to blend a dash of London character with a lighter, playful side. It is sold in cans.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant tropical fruit notes—mango and pineapple—layered with a subtle pomegranate tartness that adds complexity without dominating. A clean, floral hop character emerges in the background, with a light, grainy Malz foundation that supports rather than masks the fruit-forward profile.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers a zesty entry with the promised pomegranate character providing gentle tartness alongside primary tropical flavors. Mid-palate shows a balanced bitterness—60 IBU provides structure without harshness—while the light body keeps the beer refreshing and playful. A subtle sweetness from the Malz rounds out the center before the citrus edge takes hold.

Serve at 8–11°C

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
