4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Another excellent beer from Caldara. Pours a golden amber with the slightest haze and a nice two finger lightly colored head. You can really smell the signature cascade aroma - citrusy with a touch of pine. It has a nice citrus hop flavors supported by a good malt backbone. There is a slight bitterness in the finish, though it doesn’t linger too long. Very nice and incredibly drinkable.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Can from MyBrewerytap.com. Pours light hazed weak golden with a big creamy white head. Very nice and distinct hop aroma, piney and citrussy. Taste is fresh and crisp hops, citrus and flowers, full bodied, good fruity and well carbonated. Lingering fruity bitterness, very good example of an excellent APA.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
In a can. Pours a nice golden colour with a thin white head. Hoppy aroma of apricot, pineapple and caramel. Flavours of key lime pie, apricot and caramel. Nicely bitter with alcohol present but well balanced. Moderate carbonation, light CO2 prickle and a chewy mouth-feel. Tasty.

Can@Home. Light fruity aroma. Not strong, not complex. Pale yellow, fine white head, very nice lace. Sweetish, bitter, fruity. Not bad but flat and boring.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
355mL can thanks to Dan Fromson. Pours a clear yellow with spotty white lace. Nose is mild citrus hops with evident diacetyl. Taste...straight up butter bomb with hydrogen peroxide mouthfeel. Hints of sharp citrus and piney hops...moves to tannic green apple skins. Mild bile/acid finish atop hydrogen peroxide suddiness. Mouthfeel is dish water/detergent/soap. Super suddy mouthfeel. Ick.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pour is a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is a nice hop with some caramel malts lingering in the backround. I smelled it as soon as a popped the can. Flavor is a little weaker than the aroma but there still is a nice hop profile with a little bit of sweet malt. I could drink a lot of this in a sitting.

The nose is a candied orange peel with some baked cookie notes. In the mouth it is smooth and very light. It has a bright fruitiness that carries the caramel malt along very nicely. The bitterness is insanely minimal, the finish remains quite sweet. Which makes it excellently drinkable but lacking that "ahhhhhh" of refreshment after a draught on it.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Can. Pale orange and gold colored with an inch of foamy white head. The aroma is floral hops, citrus and honey upfront with some toasted malt notes at the end. The taste starts off with a flowery citrus and herbal hops bitterness flavor followed by some orange rind, pine and biscuit malt notes. Lots of carbonation in the body along with a clean, crisp mouthfeel. Overall, a quality session Pale Ale with a West Coast style hops kick to it.
