SHIPA Callista
Kehrwieder Kreativbrauerei

Gusher. Pours a totally hazed dark orange color with an immense, stable white head.

Smells like an east coast juice bomb, bursting of mango, ripe orange and passion fruit pulp. Offers a whiff of crisp lime peel, with no malts being detectable on the nose.

Has a very soft mouthfeel to it with an aqueous, smooth middle part, while finishing with a nice effervescent touch. The beer produces a late dryness, which goes well with its light, refreshing body.

Tastes of tropical fruits from the very beginning, with a more pronounced lemon dryness than from the nose. White bread dough, a note of toffee and wet grass add to the fruity hop appearance, creating a nice complexity, which remains very easy drinkable. Finishes soft with more toffee cutting through, some bread rind and a late lemon dryness.

Fairly light bodied with a well nuanced fruitiness, creating a very enjoyable refreshment, paired with an awesomly soft mouthfeel.

Hazy orange color with creamy off-white head. Aroma is really fruity with ripe, white grapes, pear, sweet melon and white berries. Taste follows, really fruity, multivitamin juice, tropical and juicy. Finish is slightly more balanced but still, overall it tastes like sweet, tropical hop juice. Medium body with smooth mouthfeel. Really good, juicy IPA, one of the best of the SHIPA series.
