Pours a clear gold with moderate white head. Sour malty aroma, and just a hint of skunk. Very dry & bitter flavors - nothing overly hoppy, but better than it smells. Pretty watery/thin mouth feel. Definitely on the bitter side. average..

Aug 1, 2008 Nice label picture of a heron taking flight. Dark gold pour with lacing. Robust and pleasant aroma - complex too, with pungent notes in with the sweet malt and hops. Full-flavored, with malty sweetness, grains, and orange. Brisk, grapefruity hops in the closing. Soft but tingly mouthfeel. Another high-flying ale from Mendocino/Saratoga! I’m not sure why this brewer doesn’t get higher marks on ratebeer - they please my tastebuds pretty much every time.

Jul 14, 2008 Had this beer many times. Was always a fan of this Pale Ale. Nice clearer stle beer. Nice flavors of just a bit of hops and some grassy taste also.

Jul 13, 2008 Citrus hops and doughy yeast in the nose. Clean yellow appearance. crisp clean palate, flavor leans to the hop side of things. Has American lager-like aftertaste, unfortunately.

Jul 12, 2008 An attempt an IPA, but is a little weak with a bitter aftertaste. Bitterness strikes me as sour. Not disgusting, but not very good either.
