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.
