Jule IPA

Tap to rate

Nørrebro Bryghus's Christmas IPA, an American-inspired India pale ale with the sweet oranges of Christmas added. It is almost orange in colour, unfiltered, with cream-coloured foam, brewed with Pilsner and Munich malt. Simcoe and Cascade hops give a fruity aroma with a noticeable orange note over a subtle malt backdrop. The body is full, carried by classic IPA hop flavour and bitterness with a touch of orange and sweetness, and the aftertaste is long, slightly bitter, fruity and hoppy

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus notes, dominated by sweet orange character that sits naturally within the beer rather than as an artificial addition. Simcoe and Cascade hops deliver fruity undertones, while a subtle malt foundation of Pilsner and Munich provides backbone without overwhelming the hop-led profile.

◐ Taste

The palate enters full-bodied and clean, with classic American IPA hop bitterness balanced against a gentle orange sweetness. Mid-palate development shows sustained fruity hop character and moderate bittering that builds steadily, while residual malt sweetness provides structure without heaviness.

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.
