Caldera Brewing Co.
Grade: B+
Appearance: Golden brown color with an orange tint. A one-finger head that decipates farily quickly, but leaves a nice lacing.
Smell: Nice citrus hops, toasted biscuit flavors, pine notes. Very nice.
Taste: Biscuit flavors and caramel sweetness take center stage, with the hops coming at the end. Dry finish with a nice bitter hop aftertaste. The strong biscuit flavors is unusual for a pale ale, but works with this beer.
Mouthfeel: Excellent. Medium carbonation, with a slight sticky mouthfeel. Not to watery, yet not to thick.
Drinkability: Strong. The toasted biscuit notes balance the hops nicely. The most refreshing pale ale I have had so far. I could easily drink a few of these in a session.
Overall: An above average pale ale. This is the type of beer I would have no problem buying a sixer and drinking during a bbq or relaxing on the beach.
Serving type: Can
