Cali Squeeze Raspberry Lime

Cali Squeeze
United States·Fruit Wheat Ale
Tap to rate

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.

◐ 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.
