Caldera Ashland Amber
Beer-a-Day #314 
I was at my favorite retailer recently and I was able to score seven craft beers in cans. Can you say “Can Week”?
Today: Ashland Amber from Caldera Brewing a small microbrewer in Ashland Oregon and the first in Oregon to can their beer.
A crisp, well-balanced, refreshing amber. Simplicity is the key to this recipe.
Clear amber with a cream-colored head. Aroma has a bit of vanilla and piney hops. Flavor is crisp and light without being too light. This is a quaffable beer. I’ll have this again.
