Cali Squeeze Peach Pomegranate

Cali Squeeze

🌍 United States · Fruit Wheat Ale · One of 25 Fruit Wheat Ales in hopIQ

Two fruits meet on the shared Cali Squeeze base here: real peach and pomegranate go into a grist of two-row barley, white and torrefied wheat and cara-pils, fermented in stainless steel. Juicy, ripe stone fruit sets the tone in aroma and flavour, while the pomegranate adds a tangy, slightly tart red-fruit note that keeps the sweetness in check. The grain gives a soft, rounded body with a light bready edge, and the finish is crisp with little bitterness.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with ripe stone fruit—juicy peach dominates the front, followed by deeper pomegranate notes that add complexity and slight tartness. A soft, bready malt undertone emerges in the background, grounded by gentle wheat character that frames the fruit without competing.

Entry brings forward the peach character with natural sweetness, while pomegranate acidity steps in mid-palate to balance and brighten the profile.
