Jaipur is our flagship IPA, enjoyed around the world and beloved at the brewery too. This doesn’t mean that we don’t like having some fun with it and we think we have certainly done this with ‘Chaipur’.
One of the keys to the success of Jaipur is balance; we have strived for this while using a kaleidoscopic menagerie of flavourful additions, complementing the original IPA with cinnamon, ginger, clove, black pepper, cardamom and a delicate touch of oolong tea to round it out.
These carefully selected spices each work to play with the grapefruit and pine already present from the hops, for a complex and truly rewarding drinking experience

440ml can.
L: Clear, golden colour with two fingers of white, fluffy head. Looks like a regular Jaipur.
S: Smells very different though. Cinnamon tick and cardamom pod to the fore.
T: The original Jaipur provides a fine foundation - the grapefruit and pine still shines through. Unfortunately, the spice additions are, to my mind, a touch harsh (and entirely unnecessary).
F: Similar to the original but lower carbonation and more bitter.
O: Really not sure about this. Seems a bit of a gimmick. Do these spices work in this style of beer? Clove studded grapefruit, anyone? Exactly. These spices would be much better in a winter warmer… but then there would be the Jaipur/Chaipur pun.
