Double India Pale Ale
The Calling is an undeniable IPA we were driven to make. It's our tribute to like-minded dreamers, adventurous spirits, and glass half-full optimists. Bursting forth with unmistakable tropical fruit and pine hop aromas and flavor, it's supported with a slightly sweet malt character and tapers to a crisp, dry finish. Heed your call and enjoy.

Bottle, small stable bubbly head, hazy pale orange color, aroma of lemon, rose petals and turkish delight, flavor of turkish delight, rose petals, vanila and some fruitiness in the back, medium shrubby bitterness. Excellent DIPA, not too heavy, resembles a gewurtztraminer.

The four pack of the Calling came from a grocer nearby, eyeballed a number of times, finally purchased. I serve into a tulip glass and see a slightly hazy, off-yellow body. The almost non-existent head is pure white while it is around. I take a smell, grapefruit, slightly grassy. A drink now, wow, better than anticipated from the presentation. There is stout citrus, I get lemon, grapefruit, pine needles, a forward hoppiness. Nicely bitter, refreshing even. A full taste/palate experience, it shows up. Not my favorite of the style but really fine.
