Wasted Beers Wasted India SPelt Ale
This Specialty IPA showcases a sustainable soul, utilizing surplus bread and spelt to forge a rustic, complex grain foundation. The sensory journey begins with a vibrant hop-forward aroma of grapefruit and resinous pine, supported by an unmistakable toasted bread crust and nutty sweetness derived from the spelt. On the palate, the spelt introduces a distinctive soft, rounded texture that cushions a firm, clean bitterness. The finish is remarkably dry and crisp, leaving a lingering impression of earthy grain and citrus zest. It is a well-balanced India Spelt Ale that celebrates resourcefulness through a bright, assertive hop profile.
Appearance. Deep gold to amber (7–13 SRM). Displays a slight, protein-induced haze from the spelt and bread content. Crowned by a dense, persistent off-white head with excellent lacing.
Aroma. Moderate to high hop intensity featuring distinct notes of citrus peel, pine, and subtle resin. The malt presence is notably grainy and bready, with a rustic, nutty quality and hints of toasted cracker. Fermentation is clean, allowing the unique grain and hop interplay to dominate.
Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward with flavors of grapefruit and earthy pine. A supportive, non-sweet malt backbone provides flavors of toasted bread and a cereal-like graininess. Bitterness is firm and assertive, leading to a very dry, crisp finish with a clean, lingering hop resin aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a characteristic softness and light creaminess provided by the spelt. Moderate carbonation. Alcohol presence is well-integrated with only a very light, pleasant warmth.
