Caldera Pale Ale
Beer-a-Day #315 
I was at my favorite retailer recently and I was able to score seven craft beers in cans. It’s time for “Can Week”!
Today: Pale Ale from Caldera Brewing a small microbrewer in Ashland Oregon and the first in Oregon to can their beer.
A West Coast-style pale ale balancing plenty of hops with a malty backbone.
Straw colored with a white head. Fruity aroma; reminds me a bit of pineapple. The bitterness from the hops sneak up on you. This is good. I’d gladly have this again.

This thirst quenching Barons Pale Ale uses the finest Australasian ingredients including Pacific Hallertau and Nelson Sauvin Hops. Best enjoyed icy cold.
Pale with a yellowish-orange caste. I get a bit of lemon and caramel in the aroma. Medium body with just enough hops in the finish. I’m glad this made the trip from [...]

When the phrase “California Style Ale” is used, Poleeko Gold Pale Ale is the one that comes to mind. The golden color and generous use of Pacific Northwest hops establish a distinct style, separate from any domestic or European beers. Our honey-gold pale ale is crisp and clear, with an unusual lightness and dryness [...]

Chris came over four weeks ago and I helped him brew his first batch of homebrew. It’s been conditioning in the bottle for two weeks now, so it’s time to sample the fruits of our labor.
Nice golden brown with a little haze. I’m getting some fruit in the aroma. Cantaloupe, perhaps? A little nutty [...]

Earlier this year I reviewed the Widmer Drifter Pale Ale and thought it was out of this world. I liked it so much that I said I would make it my “go to” beer. Well, I didn’t quite make it my “go to” beer but I did buy about 3 more six packs of it [...]
