Bottle. pours with a slightly hazy golden body and a small white head. Aromas are spicy, hibiscus, rose, sandalwood cedar and light hops. Flavors of tea, cider, cedar, fruit, herbal, and floral with a medium bitterness. Medium carbonation. Decent.

A golden ale with a thin white head. In aroma, intense black pepper and light rosewater. In mouth, black pepper over honey malt, light rose, a bit of maple, not bad. Tasted March 12 2011 with Montreal crew.

Bomber into English pint. "It’s like a party at Grandma’s house!" I love it. Pours hazy gold with a small collapsing head. Smells rosy, sugary; lots of caramel comes out as it warms. Taste is mostly sweet with an underlying bitterness. Flavor isn’t all that fantastic, but it is different because of the rosiness. Alcohol is very well hidden. Carbonation is high, body is thin. Caldera started out with a great idea, very different, but the resulting beer isn’t all that spectacular. It’s good, drinkable stuff, but I was looking for something that was going to push some boundaries.

Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours orange/gold with a foamy white head. Aroma is lightly fruity. Near medium body with near fizzy carbonation. Flavor is rather rose. Tastes like rose smells. Gonna take getting used to. Interesting. The rose carries on into the finish. It’s neither sweet nor bitter. Well?
