Dry and assertively bitter.

A trim base, a hop-led finish — the classic setup for a hop-forward beer.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Jaipur IPA

Appearance

Jaipur presents a brilliant pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright luminosity. A white, well-formed head builds with vigor and maintains impressive retention, supported by crisp carbonation that creates a fine bead throughout the glass.

Aroma

The nose is assertively hoppy, leading with bright citrus notes—grapefruit and lemon zest—complemented by exotic tropical fruit character and delicate floral undertones. A subtle pine resin note adds complexity without overwhelming the clean, inviting bouquet.

Taste

The palate delivers a clean, crisp entry with immediate hop bitterness that builds through the mid-palate. Citrus and tropical flavors dance across the tongue with subtle malty backbone providing balance, while the 55 IBU assertively dries the mouth without becoming harsh or overwhelming.
