Caldera Brewing Company - Ashland, Oregon USA
Pale Lager (ABV 3.9%) (IBU 16)

[Best served in a Lager glass]

Rating: 2.7/5.0

Aroma: 5/10
Appearance: 2/5
Taste: 6/10
Palate: 3/5
Overall: 11/20

The pour was a clear pale yellow with an average sized (1-2 finger) white fizzy head that diminished rapidly, down to a sparse film with a very small collar and some poor spotty lacing.

The aroma was of a light grain malt, a mild grassy hop and a soapy yeast with a strong adjunct odor (rice and grain).

The taste was lightly acidic and had a light mild sweetness throughout with an ever so light bitterness at the end. The flavor lasted an average time with a mild grainy Lager taste left to linger for a short time longer.

Mouthfeel was light in body and watery in texture with a solid medium carbonation.

Overall a pretty basic tasting Lager, that is nice and low in alcohol and light enough not to fill you up. In other words, a great session beer that would be a good addition to a hot days beer selection...
