Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Jester King Craft Brewery
Wytchmaker Rye IPA. I was extremely excited when I saw this on the shelf at Mission Liquors in Fremont. I hope they make it a habit of getting
From the Jester King Craft Brewery website: “Earthy rye
and piny hop flavor and aroma meet spicy, funky characteristics from our
farmhouse yeast in this American-inspired farmhouse ale.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours a hazy orangish brown with a huge
off-white head and lots of sticky lacing.
Aroma: Spicy rye, citrus, tropical and pine hops and some
bready malt scents.
Taste: Toasty and grainy malts, rye bread spice and
sweetness, citrus and pine hop bitterness and a finish that’s caramel malt and
a tad bit chocolate malty.
Overall: Crisp and smooth, Jester King Craft Brewery
Wytchmaker Rye IPA is an amazing Rye IPA.
I found this beer to be incredibly drinkable and at 6.8% ABV the bottle
was easy to polish off. I had the chance
to try Beer Geek Rodeo the Jester King/Mikkeller Collaboration Imperial
Oatmeal Stout when I was in Texas and it was incredible. Jester King Craft Brewery is yet another
brewery I wish I could more often in NorCal.
Cheers!
