Taste & Aroma

Pouring pale gold with a soft haze, Jarl bursts with fresh citrus, grapefruit zest and gentle tropical notes from generous use of Citra hops. The body is light and smooth, with a delicate malt backbone that keeps everything grounded before finishing dry, zippy and incredibly moreish. At just 3.8%, it’s designed for easy, joyful drinking without sacrificing personality.

Certified gluten-free and brewed with precision, it’s a brilliant example of how elegant a lower-strength pale ale can be.

Cheese Pairings

Jarl’s bright acidity and citrus lift make it a dream partner for cheeses that are fresh, creamy or gently tangy.

Perfect matches:

  • Goat’s cheese (young & fresh)
    The beer’s citrus edge cuts through creamy acidity and makes the flavours pop.

  • Wensleydale (especially young or clothbound)
    Light, crumbly texture meets lively hop brightness — clean, refreshing, balanced.

  • Cornish Yarg or other nettle-wrapped cheeses
    Herbal, slightly earthy rinds echo the beer’s freshness beautifully.

  • Baron Bigod or other soft bloomy-rind cheeses (younger styles)
    Creamy richness + zesty hops = indulgent but beautifully lifted.

  • Mild to medium cheddars
    The gentle malt sweetness complements savoury depth without overpowering it.

Why we love it

Jarl is one of those beers that makes pairing feel effortless. It refreshes the palate, sharpens flavours and keeps everything feeling bright — exactly what you want when exploring creamy, delicate or tangy cheeses.

Easy drinking, flavour-packed and endlessly pairable. A proper fridge staple.
