IPA - India Pale Ale 6.8 º 100 IBU

Caldera Brewing Company

This American IPA is a showcase for Centennial hops, delivering a distinctive perfumy and pine-forward profile. The 100% Centennial hop bill provides intense floral aromas and a sharp, grapefruit-driven bitterness that defines the style. A robust malt base featuring Premium Two Row, Munich, and Crystal malts contributes a medium body and a light caramel sweetness that anchors the aggressive 100+ IBU. The result is a bold, resinous experience where the toasty depth of Munich malt supports a clean, high-intensity hop character, culminating in a dry and persistent finish that highlights the classic West Coast hop signature.

Appearance. Deep gold to light reddish-amber (9-13 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a persistent, medium-sized, off-white head and significant lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by floral, perfume-like notes and resinous pine from the Centennial hops. Supporting malt character is low to medium-low, presenting as light caramel and toasted bread. Clean fermentation profile with no significant esters.

Taste. High hop bitterness is immediate and assertive, balanced by a clean, grainy malt sweetness with light caramel and toast flavors. Prominent hop flavors of pine, citrus pith, and floral perfume. The finish is medium-dry to dry, leaving a lingering, clean bitterness and resinous aftertaste. Moderate complexity with a clear hop focus.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly resinous texture. Moderate to medium-high carbonation. Very light, smooth alcohol warmth is present without being harsh.
