Jump/Ship - Jackstaff IPA
This Scottish brew comes in a 330ml can, and is both GF and vegan whilst the declared alcohol content is less than 0.5% ABV. Mosaic and Centennial are the hop varieties listed, together with barley and oats. Upon pouring into the glass, Jackstaff creates virtually no head which is rather disappointing. The aroma though is a pleasantly floral one. Pine and tropical are the flavours to the fore with just a touch of citrus. As one might expect from the lack of head, the body lacks any real carbonation but the finish is smooth, rather peach-like. A good, solid IPA but let down somewhat by the lack of life in the body.
