DuffMan (1883), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Jul 13, 2008 So who ripped off who with the blue heron pale ale idea-- Mendocino or Bridgeport? Hardly matters anyway. This pours a handsome bright orange amber, slightly hazy. Sweet caramel and apricot fruit in the aroma. Caramel, some apricot fruit, and a vegetal quality to the finish. Moderately bitter, light/medium bodied. SuzyGreenberg (799), Seattle, Washington, USA Jul 10, 2008 12 oz. bottle - pours crystal clear and orange gold; spotty white head; grainy and watery; flavor and aromas lacking; pretty awful across the board IrishBoy (2046), Bakersfield, California, USA Jul 8, 2008 12 oz bottle from Safeway, Port Angeles; nose of light floral hops, caramel, and peaches; light amber with a medium off-white head; flavor is fruity peaches, light sugar, and a background hop note; finish is very lightly bitter. shendrix (426), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Jun 26, 2008 A passable IPA, with a palate of spring water, the slightest bit of honey, and grassy hops.
