Ocre Wheat IPA

Tap to rate

Forastera's most creative beer — a Wheat IPA brewed with more wheat malt than pilsner malt, infused with orange peel from Mallorcan oranges. Fragrant, citrusy, and soft with the organic house character. A uniquely Mallorcan expression of the IPA style.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Ocre Wheat IPA

◎ Appearance

Pale golden with a subtle haze characteristic of wheat malt dominance. The head forms quickly with fine, delicate bubbles and maintains a thin collar of lacing. Carbonation appears bright and even, with gentle effervescence rising through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant citrus and fresh orange peel from Mallorcan fruit, supported by clean floral hop notes that suggest lavender and chamomile. Wheat malt contributes a soft, slightly bready undertone without heaviness, while the house yeast character remains restrained and neutral, allowing the adjuncts to speak clearly.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and approachable, with wheat malt providing a silky texture rather than assertiveness. Citrus and orange flavors develop across the mid-palate, balanced by moderate noble hop bitterness that sits at 60 IBU—present but not aggressive. The finish dries gradually without astringency, maintaining the hop character without overwhelming the delicate base.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
