The Story? The final beer review on my final day in New Orleans. It's been a good ride...
The Beer? This can had a far better pour than the Caldera IPA, sporting a tuft of off-white head with a bit of legs atop a glowing, unfiltered amber brew. The inviting nose yields orange, grapefruit and even a punch of lime.
The first gulp down is quite pleasant. There's a slow rise of hot hop heat and spice, ester alcohol notes and a variety of fruit notes. Bitterness is solid, threaded through each taste, but it lingers a bit more on the finish than it presents itself up front. A sturdy, substantial IPA I wouldn't mind running into again.
