Can, as pictured, got this from house of 1000 beers. Clear orangy brown. Smell is overly hoppy. Yes, quite processed and assertive hop flavors; pine tar, green citrus peels and the like. Dull soapy rude mouth coating palate of which very little co2 is present. On style. Same with the finish, long and bitter. Borders on double territory.

Can. Orange-amber color. Aroma of honey and hop, grapefruit, mandarin orange. Nice and mellow. Nicely hoppy flavor with warm malts and some metal. Good, long bitterness. Soft, smooth mouth. Hugely drinkable with a dry finish.

Whoa. Serious IPA within these aluminum walls. The malts are very grainy and hold a touch of earthiness, but the huge herbal hops obliterate any resistance you may hold against drinking more of this beer. Caldera IPA is a deliciously bitter IBU fix, piney with hints of citrus, unloading scores of hop resin onto your palate. The graininess becomes a pleasant, almost nutty background as your tastebuds succumb to the hoppy assault, and the beer finishes with a dry swipe, yet still harbors a minimal malt sweetness. Tasty and pretty enough to cause boners in Beer Geeks.

Enjoyable IPA. Good hop aroma with notes of pine, spruce, grapefruit, pineapples, mango and wildflowers. There’s some caramel malt presence that shows itself more in the taste. The taste has a bit too much crystal malt presence and bland bitterness but is otherwise very solid. Mouthfeel is a touch slick. The aftertaste is yeasty and bitter. This is a good regular rotation IPA, but it could get a bit lost in the shuffle of good IPAs on the shelves around here.

Whole Foods, DC six-pack ($11): Pours a light amber with a very proper head. Aroma of malts, grapefruit, and pina. Obviously the fruity aromas come from the citrusy hops. The taste is pretty hoppy and leaves some aftertaste, but there is a very solid malt backbone in there as well. Very well-balanced with different flavors popping up throughout. Hops are definitely not one dimensional in this beer.

(Can - courtesy of rosenbergh) Poured amber and clear. Head was dense, white and medium sized. Aroma contained citiricness, pine needles and fruitiness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were hops, pine, citiricness, malts, sweetness, bisquit and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty and bitter. Pleasant aroma and quite balanced flavour.
