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.

Smells faint hops, a little apple... But thats just my nose. Orange copper in color. Taste is up front bitter and toasty. This is very clean.

Draught @ Bridgeport Brewing. Pours a clear amber color with a small off-white head. Has a sweetish malty hoppy aroma. Sweetish malty and slightly grainy flavor with some hoppy hints. Has a sweetish malty finish with some hints of hoppy bitterness in the aftertaste.

Bottle. Pours clear amber, with a thick cream colored head. Rich malt aroma, with slight raw grain note, Dry, with a raw flavor that is not unpalatable. Very little hop note.

Golden with off-white head leaving lacing. Faint malt aroma. Slight hop bite but disappaites, minimal malt profile, slightly creamy. Nothing outstanding but a clean finish

Bottle. Pours a nice amber color with a three-quarters inch beige head that hangs around for a while. Aroma is a bit faint, and is of hops and floral hints. Flavor is not very hoppy at all, yet not too malty. Fruity flavor, some citrus. Overall, not a bad beer, but not bold (hoppy) enough to be classified as a pale ale, at least for me. Still, I like it. I’d like to pair this brew with shrimp scampi, garlic mashed potatoes and a spinach salad.

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
