Cigar City Brewing Jai Alai is a bold American India Pale Ale with 7.5% ABV and 65 IBU. A bouquet of tangerine and candied orange peel tempts the nose while flavors of clementine, Valencia orange, and subtle caramel provide counterpoint to a soft bitterness and rich malt character. This IPA uses six hop varietals including Amarillo, Cascade, Centennial, CTZ, Motueka, and Simcoe to create a bold hop flavor and aroma that is front and center in this flavorful brew.

Named after the Basque sport of Jai Alai, where players attempt to catch a ball traveling up to 188 mph using a curved mitt, this beer pays tribute to Tampa's historic Jai Alai fronton. The beer pours a cloudy amber to golden orange color with a thick, creamy white head and ample lacing. Reviewers describe it as well-balanced with citrus and melon notes alongside dank characteristics, making it highly drinkable and refreshing.

Pair Jai Alai IPA with beef empanadas, deviled crabs, and other spicy dishes. Available year-round in various formats including 12 oz cans, 16 oz cans, 6-packs, 12-packs, and on draft.
