Overview
Jester is a UK dual-purpose hop with a New World tilt: tropical fruit, grapefruit, blackcurrant, lychee, and resin around 7-9% alpha acids. It suits Pale Ale and IPA from mid-boil through dry hopping, with a softer herbal edge if used for bittering. Its Cascade seedling background and 2013 release make it a fruit-forward English option.
