JumpShipJump Ship Harlequin - Alcohol Free IPA

Expect a lively, fruit forward IPA with pineapple up front, followed by marmalade like citrus and a candied fruit edge. The Harlequin hop sounds designed to give it that juicy New World feel while still keeping a faintly British signature in the background, so it should land bright and aromatic rather than heavy or bitter for the sake of it. It sounds playful, modern and very drinkable. That final bit about balance is an inference from the hop profile and retailer tasting notes rather than a longer official brewery tasting panel.

A very easy match for burgers, spicy wings, grilled chicken and salty snacks. It should also work nicely with pizza and sharper takeaway food where the pineapple and citrusy hop notes can cut through. These pairings are an informed inference from the beer’s fruit led IPA profile rather than a stated brewery pairing guide.

Serve chilled, but not ice cold, so the fruit led hop aroma still gets a chance. Pour into a glass if you want to make more of the aroma, or crack the can when you want something juicy and easy going without losing the IPA feel. This is the sort of beer that makes a lot of sense with pizza nights, barbecues and anyone who wants their alcohol free IPA to have a bit of bounce. The last sentence is a practical serving inference from the beer’s fruity IPA profile.
