With Caliza White IPA, Takabrú has created a beer that does both. Inspired by the striking limestone formations of Puerto Rico’s northern karst region, this Belgian-style White IPA transforms the island’s natural beauty into a bright, refreshing, and memorable drinking experience.
From the heart of the Karso Boricua to your glass, Caliza celebrates one of Puerto Rico’s most unique landscapes. Just as limestone has been patiently shaped by water and time, this beer reflects balance, character, and craftsmanship in every sip.
Designed for craft beer drinkers who enjoy exploring new flavors while appreciating local inspiration, Caliza is a beer that encourages you to slow down, savor the moment, and remember where it all began.
Born From The Puerto Rican Karst
The inspiration behind Caliza comes directly from the limestone formations that define much of Puerto Rico’s northern region.
These pale-colored rocks have been sculpted over thousands of years, creating caves, sinkholes, forests, and dramatic cliffs that are unlike anywhere else on the island.
Takabrú translates that same sense of purity into the glass with a beer that is:
- Bright and refreshing
- Complex without being overwhelming
- Balanced between Belgian yeast character and American IPA hops
- Built for another sip
Rather than chasing extremes, Caliza focuses on harmony, a White IPA where citrus, spice, malt, and hops all work together.
Apperance
Caliza pours a beautiful pale gold with excellent clarity for the style, topped by a dense, persistent white head that leaves delicate lacing behind with every drink.
Malt Character
Soft wheat and light pilsner malt create a delicate grain foundation that allows the specialty yeast and hop aromatics to shine.
Hop Presence
Fresh citrus peel combines with gentle floral notes, bringing vibrant hop expression without overpowering the beer.
Finish
Traditional Belgian spice notes linger alongside a crisp, refreshing bitterness that invites another sip.

PRBG Final Pour
Takabrú has taken inspiration from one of Puerto Rico’s most iconic natural landscapes and transformed it into a beer that feels unmistakably local.
Rather than leaning heavily into hop bitterness or Belgian yeast complexity, Caliza finds the sweet spot between the two. The result is a White IPA that is refreshing, aromatic, and full of personality while remaining incredibly drinkable.
Its bright citrus aromas, subtle floral notes, silky body, and crisp finish make it equally enjoyable for IPA enthusiasts and adventurous wheat beer fans alike.
For anyone looking to experience a beer rooted in Puerto Rico’s landscape and brewed with balance in mind, Caliza delivers exactly that.
