Calypso
A fruity session IPA with just 4% alcohol, made as a thirst-quencher for sunny days. Barley malt and barley flakes form the base, hops and Amsterdam tap water do the rest, and the brewery recommends serving it cold at 5–6 °C. Meant to be enjoyed with old friends and new ones alike. It comes from the Amsterdam brewery that has worked in a former bathhouse since 1985.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Calypso
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
