Calanda tasting notes
Calanda is an Imperial IPA by Cierzo, brewed just with Simcoe hops and with additions of local peaches. It is a hazy Imperial IPA, with lots of peach aromas in the nose, tropical notes, and some herbal notes as well. Taste is sweet and fruity and with some citric bitterness and a light and crisp finish.
Imperial IPA or Double IPA is a strongly hopped strong pale ale. Its appearance is golden to light orange-copper, with almost no hazyness. Aromas are predominantly hoppy, with notes of American hops—pine, citrus, tropical fruits, etc.—, and additional dry hopping may give some herbal character. Flavour is highly bitter, very hoppy, with floral hints from the American hop varieties. Finish is dry to medium-dry and medium to high carbonation. It's bitter and hoppier than a English IPA or an American IPA, and less malty and less alcoholic than an American Barleywine.
