47/1000 Caldera Dry Hop Orange of Ashland, OR
JB: Ahh… Refreshing. Maybe that’s due to the hike we just went on.
MM: I chugged it, I think it’s the hike. It has a bite to it, a sharp aftertaste.
SS: It sits on my tongue a lot.
JB: I think a lot of more bitter beers do that.
MM: As opposed to the sticky or sweeter ones that go to the roof of your mouth? We had that with some stouts.
SS: I like the smell.
MM: I don’t love this beer, but I like it.
JB: This beer is hard not to love. What would you want to be different about it?
SS: It’s definitely one of the best-looking beers I’ve ever seen. It’s a beautiful color.
MM: You would get a keg of this?
JB: In a second. Again: What would you change?
SS: To me, there’s something that’s slightly missing. It’s kind of middle-of-the-road in that it’s not bitter enough, or…
JB: I wouldn’t mind if it had a note of citrus to it.
SS: I’m not getting the “Orange.”
JB: I think that’s just the color they’re referring to.
Just 953 to go!
Wow, one beer seems like a bold call…I like it! More but shorter is cool too!
