Joule’s Harlequin S.I.P.A

At 4.6% ABV, it sits in that useful middle ground: flavourful enough for IPA drinkers, but still sessionable enough for a relaxed pint at the pub. The finish is bitter and clean, making it a good choice if you prefer your pale ales crisp, hoppy and less sweet.

Why order it?

Choose Harlequin S.I.P.A if you want a sharper, hoppier pint with more bitterness than a soft hazy pale ale. The Harlequin and CF310 hops bring pine, passionfruit and resinous character, while the malt bill gives the beer enough body to stay balanced.

Taste profile

Expect fresh pine and passionfruit on the aroma, followed by a big resinous hop flavour and a bitter finish. Joule’s lists this beer with 40 IBU, so it is a more assertive option for drinkers who like a proper hop bite.

Hops, malt & IBU

Joule’s publicly lists Harlequin and CF310 as the hops, with Extra Pale, Munich, Caramalt and Dextrin in the malt bill. The beer is listed at 40 IBU, giving it a firm, bitter finish without pushing it into heavy double IPA territory.

Joule’s lists the beer publicly as British SIPA. This page uses Harlequin S.I.P.A to match the name used on The Glebe beer list while keeping the brewery-published beer facts intact.

Food pairing idea

Harlequin S.I.P.A works well with salty snacks, cheese, pork pie, pickles and savoury pub food. It is also a good match for richer dishes because the piney hop bite and bitter finish help cut through fat and salt.
