IPA - India Pale Ale 6 º 71 IBU

Jester King Brewery

Jester King Wytchmaker is a complex Specialty IPA that integrates a 15% rye grist with a farmhouse-inspired profile. The sensory experience is defined by the interplay of earthy rye spiciness and the brewery’s signature farmhouse yeast, which contributes a distinct funky and spicy character. High hop intensity brings forward bright notes of citrus, tropical fruit, and resinous pine, contrasting with a supportive, non-roasted darker malt background typical of the style classification. This American-inspired farmhouse ale concludes with a signature dryness and firm bitterness, delivering a unique balance of rustic grain textures and vibrant, modern hop aromatics.

Appearance. Dark brown to opaque with a persistent, light tan head, moderate size, and good lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent citrus, tropical fruit, and resinous pine. Earthy rye spice is evident, complemented by a complex fermentation profile of peppery yeast esters and light farmhouse funk. Low to moderate malt with light toast notes.

Taste. Initial hop-forward impression with flavors of grapefruit, pine, and mango. The 15% rye provides a peppery, earthy malt flavor that works alongside restrained chocolate and toast notes. Fermentation is dry and funky with spicy esters. Bitterness is firm and medium-high, leading to a bitter but clean, dry finish.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth texture and high carbonation. A slight peppery rye astringency is present, with very light alcohol warmth and no harshness.
