Brouwerij Kees from Middelburg demonstrates with Hello my name is Callista that a New England-style Double IPA can be brewed excellently with European hop varieties. This 8.2% beer is known for its fruity and floral character, with notes of orange, mandarin and yellow fruit. The Callista hop takes centre stage, delivering pleasant citrus and fruit notes throughout.

The palate is malty and fruity, with peach and a floral, slightly grassy undertone. The mouthfeel is creamy and smooth, contributing to a full yet drinkable experience. This beer reflects Brouwerij Kees's ambitious approach, specialising in bold, American and British-inspired craft beers.
