Caldera IPA (Can) 12oz:

This beer is a 6.1% NW style IPA that comes in a can. I will not go on and on about how the modern aluminum can is a superior package than glass but I will say, cheap, light, durable, and absolutely not permeable to UV light (which causes skunkiness). The beer pours deep amber with a big head that settles into a thin layer. The aroma is hoppy with a tangerine and grass character. The flavor starts nutty then moves onto the pronounced hop bitterness and finishes with a citrus rind hop flavor. The hop flavor lingers a bit and the nuttiness at the start is a quickly forgotten memory. An excellent IPA in a great package.
