Pale Ale 4.5 º 32 IBU

La Calavera

This American Pale Ale highlights a bright, hop-forward character centered on the unique Calypso hop variety. At a sessionable strength, the sensory experience is dominated by the dry-hopping process, which imparts distinctive aromas of crisp pear, red apple, and subtle tropical stone fruit. A clean, neutral malt base provides a light grainy sweetness that supports the hop intensity without competing for attention. The fermentation profile is clean with only a hint of fruity esters, allowing the specific orchard fruit notes of the Calypso hops to remain the focal point. It concludes with a crisp, refreshing finish and a moderate, well-integrated bitterness.

Appearance. Pale golden to light amber in color (6–8 SRM). Topped with a moderately large, white, persistent head that leaves light lacing. Clarity is generally clear, though a very slight haze from dry-hopping is present.

Aroma. Moderately high hop intensity featuring prominent notes of pear, apple, and light tropical fruit. A low, neutral grainy maltiness provides a supportive background. Fermentation is clean with very low fruity esters and no harsh sulfur or diacetyl.

Taste. The palate follows the aroma with flavors of pear and apple from the Calypso hops. A low bready-grainy malt character provides balance. Bitterness is moderate but firm, preventing the beer from being sweet. The finish is medium-dry and clean, with a lingering but smooth hop flavor in the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation, creating a crisp and refreshing mouthfeel. Smooth finish with no alcohol warmth or hop-derived astringency.
