Commercial Description:
Fiercely local, drawing on indigenous ingredients from the hop fields of the Willamette Valley and the barley fields of the high Northwest desert. This pale ale is round and soft on the palate, finishing crisply, to capture the flavor and spirit of the Pacific Northwest in every pint and bottle.

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.

12 oz. bottle - pours crystal clear and orange gold; spotty white head; grainy and watery; flavor and aromas lacking; pretty awful across the board

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.

A passable IPA, with a palate of spring water, the slightest bit of honey, and grassy hops.
