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

This member of the Cali Squeeze line shares the brand's wheat base and is brewed with raspberry purée and fresh lime. Two-row barley, white and torrefied wheat and cara-pils give it a soft, lightly bready body, and fermentation takes place in stainless steel. Ripe berry fruit leads the aroma and the palate, a sweet note balanced by the tart, zesty edge of the citrus. Bitterness stays low, and the finish is crisp and clean with a lingering touch of zest.

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head. The carbonation is lively, creating steady streams of tiny bubbles that rise cleanly through the body. Schaumhaftung is evident, with lacing clinging to the glass in delicate strands.

◌ Aroma

Ripe raspberry and red berry aromatics lead the nose, supported by a bright lime zest that cuts through the fruit. Soft wheat and pale malt provide a gentle cereal backdrop without dominating. The overall impression is fresh and inviting, with no harsh phenolics or astringency.

◐ Taste

Sweet berry fruit dominates the entry, with raspberry purée lending natural fruit sugar and a round mouthfeel. The mid-palate introduces tart lime acidity that balances the sweetness effectively, while the light bready character from the wheat base provides structure. Bitterness remains subdued at 15 IBU, allowing fruit and citrus to take center stage.
