Optisch hellgoldgelb und weitestgehend klar mit sehr feiner Perlage. Die opulente, weiße, feinporige Schaumkrone gibt sich dabei flaumig und langlebig. Die Duftaromatik hält sich leicht zurück und lässt leichte, helle Malznoten und zart zitrusartige Noten, die an Zesten und vor allem Bergamotte, welche man auch von Earl Grey Tee kennt, erinnern, zu. Der Antrunk kommt frisch, weich und feinrezent, zart süßlich malzig und sofort klassisch bitter und zart aromatisch hopfenbetont. Der Körper zeigt sich mit mäßiger Fülle, feiner und weicher Rezenz, seidig-samtiger Textur und guter Trockenheit. Auf Zunge und Gaumen legt sich eine leichte, helle Malzbasis aus, über der sich zarte Zitrusnoten, die an Zesten und Bergamotte erinnern, wahrnehmen lassen. Eine sehr deutliche, kräftige Hopfenbittere drückt dabei permanent dagegen, damit man auch merkt, dass dieses Bier massiv hopfenbetont sein will - und das tut es auch. Freunde des modernen IPAs werden enttäuscht sein. Freunde des klassischen IPAs hingegen werden jubeln. Durch die Note der Bergamotte, dieser sanften, zitrus-herben Charakteristik, wirkt dieses IPA auch irgendwo wie der Gentleman unter sämtlichen IPA-Stilen. Für mich verkörptert dieses Bier auch genau das. Trotz seiner kräftigen Bitternoten wirkt dieses Bier so klar und echt und lässt sich auch unwahrscheinlich gut trinken. Im Nachtrunk hält die Aromatik von leichtem Malz, leichter Fruchtigkeit und leicht fruchtiger Herbe schön an und wandelt sich langsam in eine leicht trockene, deutliche Hopfenbittere, die sich in Mundhöhle und Rachen legt.
Fazit: Der Gentleman unter den modernen IPAs, wobei sich modern nicht auf die Hopfung, sondern auf die sehr helle Malzschüttung bezieht.

330ml can. Slightly cloudy, orange golden colour with average, creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Zesty, citrusy fruity, hoppy aroma, pale malty background, notes of lemon, orange, tangerine, some orange peel. Taste dito.
Watery texture, slightly dry palate, medium to fine, mildly prickly carbonation.
Citrusy and zesty, refreshing - decent.

A refreshing and pleasant Brit take on the west coast IPA. A thin but well laced white head covers a pale straw body. Very visible carbonation. Fresh citrus fruit led by lemon and orange elements work well with a hint of melon and soft sweet malt. I wouldn't call the hop presence massive by North American standards, but punchy and gripping nonetheless.

A light yellow beer with a medium and white head. Aroma has lots of grapefruits, some tropical fruits, fresh. Taste of biscuity malts, some fruits, citrusfruits, lots of grapefruits. Medium bitterness, quite dry taste. Medium bodied, smooth carbonation, easy to enjoy. Quite dry and bitter, sophisticated, grapefruity IPA. Should be taste together with normal Jaipur to find out differencies.

Bottle picked up from Beyond Beer webshop, Hamburg delivered in 24 hours, as ever fantastic service. Had this sat out in the garden Sunday 10th August 2025 cooking pizza in the pizza/wood oven, weather glorious, listening to Antony Szmierek - Service Station at the end of the Universe. We had this in a side by side with a regular Jaipur. This pours very similar in appearance, light/mid gold, large white head, I couldn't get it all in the glass that I had however if I had of done I suspect that there would be a very slight haze. This has all of the hallmarks of the classic 'regular' Jaipur, however it is softer in the mouth, more subtle, more rounded and the hoppiness and bitterness are a slower at revealing themselves, however when they do it is lovely, it is very interesting to do a direct comparison, I forgot how instant the regular version is. This still has a great bitterness, it is wonderfully hoppy, it is just more gentle.
* Just gone back to read my review of regular Jaipur, which we had at our beer festival in Merton in July 2006 19 years ago!, 19 YEARS!!!, without realising I also gave it 8.4 , interestingly it was also cask, I am intrigued that the cask v keg/canned/bottle version are not split, because I am sure there would be a difference.

Expecting something with more aromas, even though the final note is subtle and light, side of pine tree, a bit fruity and creamy, 03.11.19, tasting it, at home, Epalinges, buying it at Wittisch Olten
gave a cheers!

Cask at Hops, Crewe. Pours golden amber with a small scummy off-white head and excellent lacing. The aroma has plenty of bitter hops and just a trace of yeast. In the mouth, sweetness and bitterness arm wrestle for supremacy, with the bitter hops eventually winning out. Plenty of other flavours come through too after a while – spice, ginger, yeast orange peel and herbs. Finish is very strongly bitter – but not overwhelming. This is excellent – an old favourite with just a little extra depth added by the Burton Union.

Loose white head left a froth on a well carbonated unclear pale golden coloured body.
Typical Jaipur aroma with a touch of yeast.
Medium bodied, foamy & cloying.
Cereal, yeast, bitter & grapefruit tastes with a bitter finish.
Would like to try on Cask.
gave a cheers!
