Nature Calls

Tap to rate

Nature Calls is a Mountain IPA from 10 Barrel in Bend, Oregon, the merger of a West Coast IPA and an East Coast Hazy IPA. Its profile consists of mango, tangerine and grapefruit: the tropical fruitiness of a hazy mixed with the piney, juicy citrus of a traditional IPA. It was brewed for hitting the outdoors and chilling around the fire. 6.5% ABV.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Nature Calls

◎ Appearance

Nature Calls presents a golden-amber hue with pronounced haziness throughout the body, characteristic of its East Coast influence. The dense, creamy head forms readily and clings persistently to the glass, leaving distinct lacing on each sip. Bright carbonation creates active movement within the slightly opaque pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant tropical fruit—prominent mango and tangerine notes sit alongside assertive grapefruit pith. Beneath the fruit lies a clean, resinous pine character that anchors the profile without overshadowing the bright citrus. A subtle grassy, herbal undertone from noble hops completes the aromatic presentation.

◐ Taste

The palate opens juicy and fruit-forward, with the tropical fruitiness from the aroma translating seamlessly to the taste. Mid-palate brings a piney, citrus-driven bitterness that feels balanced rather than harsh, supported by a clean, crisp malt foundation with minimal sweetness. The finish dries progressively, with the hop character lingering cleanly without astringency.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
