Mallorca Pale Ale
More balanced, aromatic and easy to drink.
Another Fucking IPA is our West Coast IPA with attitude: brewed in Alaró, Mallorca, with Serra de Tramuntana water and León hops, made for hop lovers and served fresh in our taproom, tastings and events.
Another Fucking IPA was born because Sven did not want to brew “just another IPA”. The world was already full of IPAs, many of them strangely similar, and the only way to accept the challenge was to give it a name that said exactly that: yes, another fucking IPA.
At first, some people thought it was too direct, too strange, too uncommercial. But the name stayed, the beer stayed, and over time that kind of blunt beer naming became much more normal. At FORASTERA, it did not come from an agency. It came from a brewery conversation.
In the glass it is a West Coast IPA: dry, clean, clearly bitter but still drinkable, with a hop profile leaning towards citrus, resin and a slight tropical edge. It is not trying to taste like juice. It is built to smell like hops, finish fresh and ask for another sip.
We brew our beers in small batches from 300L to 1300L at our brewery in Alaró. Every step goes through our hands: mash, boil, fermentation, dry hopping, maturation and service.
We work with organic malt, 100% León hops and Serra de Tramuntana water. That is not decorative copy: we are a brewery working in Alaró, inside the Tramuntana, and that is part of the beer's character. Another Fucking IPA represents this direct way of understanding beer.
We do not chase trends. We brew real beer for Mallorca: fresh, local and with personality.
Expect a dry, aromatic IPA with hops up front: citrus, soft resin, a slight tropical touch and a clean finish. The bitterness is present, but it is not here to punch you for free.
Compared with a hazier, sweeter NEIPA, this West Coast IPA takes a different road: drier, cleaner, less creamy and with more defined hop character. It is an IPA for people who do not want to hide the bitterness.
Because hops do more than bring bitterness. Added cold, after the boil, they bring aroma: citrus, floral, resinous or tropical notes. That is where an IPA starts speaking before the first sip.
The best way to understand Another Fucking IPA is to drink it close to where it is brewed: in our taproom in Alaró, directly inside the brewery.
You can also discover it during a guided tasting, alongside other FORASTERA beers and a clear, honest explanation of the brewing process.

It is a West Coast IPA brewed by FORASTERA in Alaró, Mallorca. That means a dry, clean IPA with strong hop presence, clear bitterness and a fresh finish. It is not a sweet, heavy or hazy IPA: it goes straight to the point.
Because Sven did not want to brew just another IPA in a world where everything seemed to have to be an IPA. If he was going to brew one, it had to be called exactly that: Another Fucking IPA. People told him he was mad, that the name was too much. But the beer worked, the name stayed, and over the years that kind of bluntness became almost normal.
West Coast IPA comes from the American West Coast school: drier beers, clearer beers, clean bitterness and plenty of hop aroma. Unlike many modern NEIPAs, it is not trying to taste like a tropical smoothie. It wants to be direct, fresh, resinous and easy to recognise.
Dry hopping means adding hops after the boil, usually during or after fermentation. In the boil, hops bring more bitterness; added cold, they bring more aroma. That is why an IPA can smell like citrus, pine, tropical fruit or herbs without necessarily being extremely bitter.
The IPA family is wide: English IPA, American IPA, West Coast IPA, New England IPA, Session IPA, Double IPA, Black IPA or Rye IPA. They all revolve around hops, but they differ a lot in colour, body, haze, sweetness, alcohol and bitterness. So saying “IPA” alone almost never tells the whole story.
No. An IPA needs hop presence, but that does not mean destroying your palate. A good IPA has balance: aroma, dryness, body, freshness and bitterness that supports the beer. In Another Fucking IPA the bitterness is clear, but the point is to keep drinking, not to prove who can suffer more.
