Caleya Lloba is a robust American IPA that bridges the gap between classic intensity and modern texture through the addition of oats. Part of the Quantica series, this 7% ABV ale leads with a high-intensity hop profile characterized by citrus and tropical fruit. The oats contribute a signature silkiness to the mouthfeel, softening the firm bitterness typical of the style. Expect a supportive, grainy malt backbone with a clean fermentation profile, finishing dry but with a lingering resinous punch. It is a vibrant, contemporary expression of the American IPA style, prioritizing hop saturation and a creamy, substantial structure.
Appearance.Medium gold to light reddish-amber (SRM 8–12). Persistent, off-white, creamy head with dense lacing. Features a characteristic haze from the significant oat content.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma with dominant notes of grapefruit, mango, and resinous pine. A subtle, clean, grainy maltiness from the oats provides a soft, bready background. Clean fermentation profile with virtually no esters.
Taste.Initial impression is hop-forward with flavors of orange peel and stone fruit. Medium-high bitterness is firm but tempered by the creamy texture of the oats. Low, grainy malt support with a dry to medium-dry finish. Lingering, clean, bitter aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a notably smooth and creamy texture due to the oat addition. Moderate-high carbonation. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present at 7% ABV with no harshness.
