Caldera Dry Hop Red

Brewed by Caldera Brewing Company
Style: Amber Ale
Ashland, Oregon USA

On tap, Siskiyou Micro Pub, Ashland
Dark red ale with an assertive aroma of florals, tropical fruits (papaya, pineapple). Sweet character. Wonderful blend of fruity hop and bright breadcrusty malts. Complex and flavourful, a top notch session brew.

This is a great hoppy brew, a bit too hoppy for an amber. Pours a slightly cloudy copper with a tall smooth white head. Lots of citrus hops, slightly spicy with just a bit of maltiness in the aroma. Taste starts with just a quick malt hint then finishes with a great citrus hop dry finish. The dryhopping really allows this brew to be refreshingly hoppy without being overly bitter. A great brew for some easy drinkin.

Dark red-copper color with a dense white head. Fruity hop aroma with a hint of caramel. Fresh hoppy flavor with some slightly toasty malt and caramel flavors balancing it out. Flavor is primarily hops though. Very tasty and hoppy rendition of a Red Ale, could possibly even be considered and American Strong Ale.
