Commercial Description:
Blue Heron Pale Ale is a delightful, medium bodied smooth ale, with a distinctive crisp mouth-feel and a fresh hoppy finish. It is brewed using premium two-row Pale malted barley, generous amounts of both Cluster bittering hops and Cascade finishing hops and our own special proprietary yeast strain. Blue Heron Pale Ale is "Bottle Conditioned."

Clear pale yellow color, white head. Vegetable and sugary scent. Thin, weak, metalic, dry taste. Thin mouthfeel, low bitterness.

Smelled like a pale ale mixed with a light pilsner... taste didn’t alter much from that. Bleh.

Bottle split with barrios at woody’s. Pours a clear light amber with decent white head. Aroma and flavor has a definitive cascade hop profile that is fairly balanced with some caramel malts. Lingering light bitter finish. I just don’t care for pale ales.

Hazy dark orange with a thin whitish head. Big caramel aroma, floral, piney hops. Flavor is good malt, caramel, resinous pine hops, some floral citrus finishing hints.

Bottle. Pours a clear orange color. Almost no head. Aroma is faint hops and piney hops. Kind of watered down. Very smooth.

12oz bottle. Pours golden orange with big soapy white head. Aroma is nothing but just faint hops. Flavor is horrible with watery malts and hop bitterness. This is not good. Taste like a skunky lager. Good thing I found it on the singles rack.

Aromas of hops. Light head that disappeared quickly. Initial taste of yeast and hops. Ended with a slight bitter taste. Decent craftbeer.
