Forastera Zulena Wipa
This Session Wheat IPA, Forastera Zulena Wipa, presents a refreshing and gentle sensory profile driven by a high proportion of wheat malt over a Pilsner malt base. The experience is defined by the inclusion of Mallorca orange peels, which impart a vivid, authentic citrus zestiness that intermingles with unique aromas of clover and wildflowers. Despite its sessionable strength, it maintains the assertive hop-forward balance expected of a Specialty IPA. The wheat provides a soft, hazy texture that carries the bright citrus and herbal notes through to a crisp, dry finish, making it an approachable yet characterful Mediterranean take on the style.
Appearance. Pale straw to light gold (3-5 SRM). Significant haze from the high wheat content. Large, frothy white head with excellent retention and delicate lacing.
Aroma. High intensity of fresh orange zest and citrus oils from the Mallorcan orange peels. Distinctive herbal notes of sweet clover and meadow grass. Low grainy-sweet malt presence with a hint of cracker-like Pilsner character and bready wheat; clean fermentation profile.
Taste. Initial burst of bright orange citrus and pithy zest. Mid-palette reveals a soft, bready wheat flavor and a touch of floral clover sweetness. Medium-high bitterness provides a firm hop backbone without being harsh. Finishes dry and clean with a lingering citrus and herbal aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body reflecting its session strength. Moderate to high carbonation enhances the refreshing quality. Smooth, slightly creamy texture from the wheat malt. No perceived alcohol warmth.
