Brewer notes
Calypso is a US hop variety. Expect stone fruit, tropical, citrus, peach, and fruity character from late additions or dry hopping. Flexible enough for both bittering and later flavour/aroma additions; it is commonly associated with stouts, barley wines, and wine. The catalogue alpha-acid default is 13%; always use the value printed on the current packet or lot for bitterness calculations.
