Cigar City Jai Alai IPA is a celebrated craft beer from Cigar City Brewing, based in Tampa, Florida. This India Pale Ale is inspired by the vibrant sport of Jai Alai, which is popular in the Tampa area. The beer is brewed with six different hop varietals, including Amarillo, Simcoe, and Cascade, which contribute to its bold hop aroma and flavor. Jai Alai IPA has a robust malt backbone that balances the intense hop bitterness, resulting in a well-rounded and flavorful beer. With an ABV of 7.5%, it offers a complex profile with notes of citrus, tropical fruit, and a hint of caramel from the malt. This IPA is a staple in the craft beer community and pairs well with spicy dishes, grilled meats, and sharp cheeses.
