5.9% India Pale Ale
In 2024, we teamed up with our friends at Northern Monk to create something special - an exciting collaboration that combined the best of our two flagship beers. By blending ingredients from both recipes, we created a truly remarkable brew that showcased the essence of our breweries. As part of our twentieth-anniversary celebrations, we invited Northern Monk for a return brew, one worthy of marking Jaipur’s milestone birthday. The result is a seamless fusion of our signature styles, bursting with tropical fruit, citrus, and pine. A light sweetness in the body provides perfect balance before a tantalisingly bitter finish rounds out this celebratory beer.

44cl can from Alko, Helsinki. Pours slightly hazy yellowish with a white head. Hoppy and fruity with citrusy notes domination. Moderate sweet with medium flavour intensity and ditto bitterness. Quite refreshing and enjoyable.

440ml can from Mitchell Wines, Meadowhead - Hazy yellow, thin white top. Sweet syrupy grapefruit, a little easier than the original Jaips, sweetness taking the harshness of the edge.

Greenhead Beer Festival 2025, Beer#7. Last for me at the festival and only beer available in Keg. Strong, good body, carbonation evident, but tropical fruity notes most dominant alongside some hoppiness.

Cloudy pale yellow colour, small white head. "Yeast fumes" and grapefruit aroma. Light-bodied. Grapefruit, pale malts, typical Thornbridge flavour plus odd yeast side notes. I'm not a fan.

440ml can from Alko.
Poured light orange in color.
Citrusy clean hops, very Jaipur like, but adds some sweeter mango notes in flavor.

Thin creamy white head on hazy golden coloured body.
Zesty citrus, pine & resinous aroma.
Medium bodied, soft with a clean back.
Mango, pineapple, zesty citrus, resinous & grapefruit tastes with a long bitterly hopped up finish.
That's a great blend of the two.

Can. Mitchell’s Wines. Light haze on a pale gold. Good swede. Nose has all of the Jaipur grapefruit hoppage with some milky sweetness you don’t ordinarily get. Bit of fruity estery yeast. Taste has a more sweet edge overall. Still very easy drinking throughout. Less bitter on the finish.

Can from the brewery beer club. Pours hazy yellow gold with a thin white head. Strong tropical fruit and fresh orange aromas. Taste has a good whack of bitterness alongside juicy fruit flavours. Nicely done.
