Caleya Hostia

Caleya Hostia is a robust Belgian Dubbel that presents a sophisticated interplay of rich caramelized malts and expressive fermentation character. The use of Saaz hops provides a subtle, earthy, and floral counterpoint to the dominant aromas of raisin, plum, and toasted bread. On the palate, the specialized Abbey yeast imparts characteristic peppery phenols and dark fruit esters, harmonizing with a deep, sugary maltiness that avoids being cloying. At 7.5% ABV, a gentle alcoholic warmth enhances the medium-full body, leading to a surprisingly dry finish. This ale captures the monastic tradition with its complex layering of burnt sugar and spicy notes, offering a classic, warming experience.
