Western Herd Brewery, known for its innovative and flavourful brews, introduces the Blue Jumper IPA. This beer is a nod to the classic West Coast style IPA, with a twist that's uniquely Western Herd. Named after a memorable 'Father Ted' reference, it's not just a beer, but a conversation starter.

The foundation of this beer is its rich malt profile, comprising Pale, Stout Mix, Caramunich I, CaraPils, and White Wheat. This malt base sets the stage for the hops, which include Citra, Idaho 7, and Centennial. The result? A beer that's amber in appearance with a clean white head, and a flavour profile that's both refreshing and complex.

Tasting Notes:

  • Appearance: Amber in appearance with a clean white head.
  • Aroma: Dominated by orange and other citrus notes, complemented by hints of pine and light peach.
  • Flavour: Candied orange takes the forefront, followed by a background bitterness that's characteristic of IPAs.
  • Mouthfeel: Smooth with a sharp bitter finish, making each sip a delightful experience.

The history of the IPA is a fascinating one. It's believed that this beer was originally brewed for the East Indian market in the 1800s. To ensure the beer's freshness during shipping, it was hopped more heavily and brewed to a higher strength. Today, the IPA stands as a testament to this rich history, with its firm bitterness and forward hop flavour.

Western Herd's Blue Jumper is more than just a beer; it's an experience. Whether you're a seasoned IPA lover or someone new to the world of craft beers, this brew promises a taste that's both familiar and novel. The combination of citrusy notes, tropical aromas, and that sharp bitter finish is something that will linger in your memory, much like the playful question it poses. So, why wait? Purchase online or in-store now and relive that moment when you were drinking Blue Jumper.
