Theakston Peculier IPA
Zesty and fruity with a full-bodied malty undertone, Peculier IPA brings a honeyed fruit aroma, a velvety texture, a dry bitter undertone and a pronounced hop-forward finish. Head brewer Mark Slater built it from British malted barley and three English-grown new-world hops: Harlequin, Jester and Olicana. It began as a seasonal ale before earning a permanent place in the core range.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Theakston Peculier IPA
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
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.
