Caleya Surrealista is a vibrant Double IPA that showcases an intense hop profile driven by a heavy double dry-hop addition. The sensory experience is dominated by the tropical power of Bru-1, Mosaic, and El Dorado hops. Expect a collision of fresh pineapple and stone fruit from the Bru-1 and Mosaic, while El Dorado contributes ripe mango and watermelon candy accents. The malt presence remains a clean, supportive backdrop of light grain, allowing the firm, resinous bitterness to remain the focus. Despite its strength, the beer maintains high drinkability with a punchy, medium-dry finish that highlights its modern, fruit-forward hop character.
Appearance.Deep gold to light orange (7-9 SRM). Pours with a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head with good lacing. Displays a slight haze characteristic of heavy dry-hopping while maintaining a luminous quality.
Aroma.High intensity. Dominated by tropical and stone fruit hop characteristics including pineapple, mango, and mixed berries. Secondary notes of pine and citrus zest emerge. Malt is low and neutral, providing a light cracker-like background. Clean fermentation with a subtle, well-integrated alcohol hint.
Taste.Initial impression is an explosion of tropical fruit—pineapple and stone fruit lead. Malt flavor is low, providing a soft, bready foundation. Bitterness is high and firm but lacks harshness, balancing the hop saturation. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering aftertaste of resin and tropical fruit flavors from the Mosaic and Bru-1.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily texture from the hop saturation. Carbonation is moderate-high. Noticeable but restrained alcohol warmth is smooth and well-integrated. No significant hop-derived astringency.
