Feb 8, 2008 Bottle. Pours amber with an off white head. Sweet and fruity aroma with notes of caramel and hops. Medium body. Flavor is sweet malt, caramel, hops, and ripe fruit... banana maybe? Not bad but pretty boring.

Feb 2, 2008 Select ale, my ass. This a really boring beer with almost no character to speak of. Glad to hear it’s 16-proof; At least it’ll serve some purpose.

Feb 1, 2008 This beer looked descent when it poured. A nice amber color with a smalll white head. Aroma was very bland. Not very hoppy not very exciting malt profile. Aroma had a little caramel malt but nothing else really stood out. Not a beer i would ever buy again. Pretty disapointing.

Jan 25, 2008 This ale was referred to me by a good friend and man, am I glad he did! The first thing that struck me was the foamy, off-white head. Not fizzy, but foamy (bottle conditioning). Great floral/hop aroma to an immediate full-body punch - apples, caramel, HOPS, MALT...great show! Finished fruity and a little bitter - no alcohol burn...so in short, pass me another!

Jan 22, 2008 A light, mostly clear, redding presentation in the glass. A really complex nose: tobacco and some vibrant floral/hoppy notes. The flavors: also complex, leading to a smarmy, slightly syrupy finish, and yet I cannot say no. Wunderbar!

Jan 18, 2008 Updated: Jun 23, 2008Thanks from J-Tiki, taste of caramel and sweetness. Pretty drinkable beer, not my favorite Mendocino though. High notes of alcohol, to syrupy for my taste Wouldn’t buy it again

Jan 15, 2008 Updated: Jul 21, 2008So Mendocino Brewing is in New York State? And I thought it was in Mendocino. Here is another in their series of bird ales. This 12 ounce bottle has a strong, grainy aroma and a rich amber color. A rich brew with a good balance of malts and hops, and hints of bourbon too. I can’t think of another beer that tastes quite like this, so it gets a point for uniqueness. Bready, with touches of herbs, metal, and alcohol, and a pleasant hopped-up finish.
