Forastera Punk is Dad
Forastera Punk is Dad is a Specialty IPA that honors the brewery's second anniversary and its founder's punk roots with a sophisticated Rye-driven profile. It opens with a creamy, inviting texture that leads into an expansive meadow of hops. The inclusion of rye in the mash bill provides a distinctive spicy, peppery complexity that sharpens the moderate-high hop bitterness. While balancing the dryness of a traditional American IPA, this version exhibits a darker character where gentle, supportive malt notes of toast and light chocolate provide depth without becoming overly roasted, creating a harmonious and multifaceted sensory experience.
Appearance. Dark brown to deep copper; clear with a persistent, moderate-sized tan head that leaves consistent lacing.
Aroma. Moderate to high hop intensity featuring notes of resinous pine, grapefruit, and floral meadows. A distinct spicy, peppery rye character is present, supported by very low notes of chocolate, toast, and a background caramel sweetness.
Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward and dry. High hop flavors of citrus and resin are balanced by a prominent spicy graininess from the rye. Low malt flavors of bread crust and restrained chocolate appear mid-palate but never clash with the firm bitterness. The finish is dry and clean with a lingering spicy-hop aftertaste and a touch of roasted character.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, notable creaminess and oiliness derived from the rye. Moderate carbonation and a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
Sensory Profile.
