Caldera IPA
Thanks to a coworker for trading this bottle to me. She's a big IPA fan and this beer came well-recommended. Slightly clear with a moderate haze, medium orange. Two-finger off-white collapsed thin but retaining well with lacing. Pervasive tropical fruity hops, mango and pineapple. Supporting toasted malt makes an appearance, too. Mild herbal notes in the background. Moderate level of toasted malts, herbal hops, medium level of bitterness. Fruity hops sneak in the back-end Medium, dry finish with a lingering hop bitterness. Medium-light bodied with a moderate/moderate-high level of carbonation. Great hop nose and a well-formed flavor make this a good example of the IPA style. Could use more diversity in the flavor department.
