Botanicals: a combination of citra, hallertauer hops, as well as zesty grapefruit peel

Jim and Tonic Kraft Hopped Grapefruit Gin / Small Bottle arrives a London Dry gin bottled at 42% that weaves together a combination of citra, hallertauer hops, as well as zesty grapefruit peel into a spirit rooted in tradition.

A 20cl bottle of fruity, juniper-forward hopped gin from Jim and Tonic, Kraft is distilled with a combination of Citra and Hallertauer hops, as well as zesty grapefruit peel.

The Verdict

At 7.1/10, this is a pleasant if unremarkable London Dry. It lacks the distinctiveness or provenance that might give it a story worth telling, though it remains a perfectly acceptable pour.

Best Served

Pour generously over ice on a quiet evening. Add tonic if the mood takes you — something light, something that lets the gin speak. The garnish should come from the garden if you can manage it: a sprig of something fragrant, a peel of something bright. These are small details, but they matter.

Nia Okafor VIPsAllowed - Craft beer meets gin
8/10

If you love craft beer and gin, this is your sweet spot. The citra hops bring tropical, resinous notes that play beautifully with the grapefruit peel. At 42% it's a bold, characterful London Dry.

Luciano Bianchi VIPsAllowed - Grapefruit is brilliant
8/10

The zesty grapefruit peel is the star here. The hallertauer hops add a herbal bitterness that keeps things interesting, and the citra hops bring tropical notes. A genuinely creative London Dry at 42%.

6/10

The combination of citra and hallertauer hops with grapefruit peel is interesting in theory, but in practice the hoppy bitterness clashes with the citrus at 42%. It's like a craft beer trying to be a gin. The grapefruit is nice enough, but the hops make it confused.

8/10

If you're a craft beer fan exploring gin, start here. The citra hops give tropical, piney notes alongside the grapefruit peel brightness. A London Dry at 42% that bridges two worlds nicely.

9/10

Jim and Tonic have done something genuinely original. The citra and hallertauer hops with grapefruit peel at 42% create a London Dry that's bitter, zesty, and totally unique. The hopped character is inspired.

8/10

The hop bitterness with grapefruit zest creates a refreshing, adult flavour profile. At 42% this London Dry has enough juniper backbone to work as gin while being genuinely innovative.

10/10

Jim and Tonic's Kraft Hopped Grapefruit at 42% is the most creative London Dry I've tasted. The combination of citra and hallertauer hops with zesty grapefruit peel is genius — tropical, bitter, citrusy, and utterly addictive. This is what happens when passion meets imagination. Absolutely outstanding.
