Kettle Series. When hopportunity knocks, answer it. This ale is Caldera’s rendition of answering the Pacific Northwest call for a @*! pile of Centennial hops with a big beer to back it up. Don’t get left out in the cold, open up and fill the void within you . . .

Bottled. Brownish tinged pour with a sticky foamy head. Serious hops aroma, the centennial is hitting you with resin etc. Piney malty taste, pretty chewy for a big beer. good.

Aroma of citrus, tropical fruits, grapefruit, some pine, hops. Flavour is light to moderate sweet with a bitter finish. Another really fine IPA from Caldera.

Can. Brown color, hazy. Toffee, citrus and peach in the aroma. Toffee, citrus and grassy hops in the flavor. Sweet, caramelly, lacks balance.

From can to glass. Pours copper-garnet with a sustained off white head of a fluffy one-finger head and lacing. Malt and hops are balanced, hops more subdued on the aroma. Slight orange comes out late in the flavor. Malty cracker flavor.

Canned 355ml. -from Pivoteka Zagreb. Dark golden coloured, small to medium sized off-white head, caramel and light fruity nose. Sweet malty, caramel, herbal hoppy and touch of honey with dry bitter/sweet finish. It promises but no real hop freshness here.

0.33 l can from Pivoteka, Zagreb. Shared with Višnja 666 and Pilot Goran, Tanja and Aljoša. Murky amber, small off-white head. Lightly hoppy, fruity, citrus and berries. Malts present. Light bitterness. I have a feeling that it's a bit lost. Medium body, soft carbonation, light finish, biscuit malty aroma.

Dark hazy amber body, off white head, thick. Caramelly and resiny aroma, hm. Okay taste really, resin and herbs backed remarkably well by the overly caramelly body. It somehow manages to work! Long hoppy bitter aftertaste that again throws it out of balance. Hmm. Okay I guess.
