Jaisoor

Tap to rate

Simcoe, Chinook and Centennial meet Nelson Sauvin, Motueka and Riwaka, bringing layers of pine, bright citrus, white grape and tropical fruit, balanced by a refreshing sour finish. Jaisoor puts a sour twist on the classic IPA: brewed by Vault City, it pairs Thornbridge's West Coast hop heritage with Vault City's bold, fruit-forward approach to sour beer.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with distinctive pine and resinous notes from Simcoe and Chinook, layered with bright citrus and white grape aromatics. Nelson Sauvin, Motueka and Riwaka bring tropical fruit notes—stone fruit and stone-ground grain character—while subtle tartness frames the profile without dominating.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and hoppy, with piney and citrus flavors establishing presence immediately. The mid-palate develops tropical fruit and grape-forward complexity, balanced by restrained bitterness (10 IBU) that permits the fruit and acidity to shine. The 5% ABV keeps the body light and refreshing.

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.

About Sour IPA

What is a Sour IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.

Finding a similar Sour IPA

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same sour, piney, citrusy character as Jaisoor will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
