Jaipur Alcohol Free IPA

The alcohol-free version of Thornbridge's 2005 flagship IPA, brewed with the same Maris Otter malt and six-hop bill as the original.

About This Drink

Jaipur has been Thornbridge's signature IPA for two decades, and the alcohol-free version doesn't take shortcuts. The hop bill runs to six varieties: Chinook, Centennial, Ahtanum, Simcoe, Columbus and Cascade. Maris Otter malt provides the base. It pours a clear pale amber. Lemongrass and citrus peel lead on the nose, with a faint honey sweetness underneath. On the palate, lemon and grapefruit come first, followed by resinous pine from the Simcoe and Chinook. The malt stays out of the way — clean and structural rather than sweet. The finish is dry and has some staying power, with a proper bitterness that doesn't dissolve the moment you swallow. Whether it passes as indistinguishable from the full-strength original will depend on how much you miss the alcohol warmth. As a hop-forward AF IPA, though, it holds up well.
