An amber ale brewed with British hops. Jump Ship describes a glowing amber pour with a creamy head, gentle hop aroma with a touch of fruit, and layers of toffee and biscuit malt balanced by a clean, refreshing bitterness.

At under 0.5% ABV, this isn’t alcohol-free under UK guidance, which keeps the term for 0.05% or less. We list it with alcohol-free beers, as UK shops do. How UK labels work

About Jump Ship Brewing

Jump Ship Brewing makes only alcohol-free beer. Sonja Mitchell launched it in December 2019, and since early 2024 it has brewed at its own dedicated alcohol-free brewery at Rosemains Steading in Pathhead, Midlothian, near Edinburgh. Every Jump Ship beer is under 0.5% ABV, vegan and gluten-free, and none is made by removing alcohol after brewing.

Some retailers still list an earlier 330ml version as a pale ale; Jump Ship now sells Flying Colours as an amber ale in 440ml cans.

Frequently asked questions

How many calories are in Jump Ship Flying Colours Amber Ale?
Jump Ship lists 97 kcal per 440ml can (22 kcal per 100ml), with 3g of sugar per can. Compare it with other beers in our calorie comparison tool.
Is Jump Ship Flying Colours Amber Ale alcohol-free?
Flying Colours is under 0.5% ABV. Jump Ship doesn’t remove alcohol after brewing: it manages the mash and uses specially selected yeasts so that very little alcohol forms in the first place. UK government guidance reserves the term ‘alcohol-free’ for 0.05% ABV or below, but that guidance is voluntary, and several other European countries allow beer up to 0.5% ABV to be called alcohol-free. More in our 0.0% vs 0.5% guide.
Is Jump Ship Flying Colours Amber Ale vegan and gluten-free?
Yes. Jump Ship says all of its beers are vegan and gluten-free. They are brewed with barley and oats (both listed as allergens), and Jump Ship says each batch is independently tested by a UKAS-accredited lab to less than 10ppm, half the 20ppm gluten-free limit. See our gluten-free alcohol-free beer guide.
