Jan 9, 2009 Twenty-two ounce bottle from New Vintage Wine. Poured nicely with a creamy head and hazy copper color. The nose was a bit sweet with brown sugar. Had a sugary sweet flavor with caramel and brown sugar. I was expecting much more.

Jan 4, 2009 Updated: Jan 27, 200912 oz bottle picked up at McScrooge’s in Knoxville. Poured a fairly clear copper/orange color with a two finger creamy tan head. Aroma of brown sugar and caramel, with a hint of floral hops. The flavor was malty with a strong caramel base, with a hint of brown sugar. The palate was above average, with a slick, oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation and a medium/full body.

Dec 28, 2008 Bottle poured nicely with an orangish-gold color that was slightly hazed. Smell is a little flowery with brown sugar. Ale yeast esters offer a woody smell in the nose when tasting. WOW... the finish on this beer is great. Very smooth and clean. Lots of brown sugar and flowers like marigold and roses in the hops. Well done.

Nov 21, 2008 Poured a clear copper color with carbonation bubbles rising in the glass. A creamy tan head that settled to about 1". A nice caramel roasted malt aroma. Initial taste had a bit of sweetness and finished slightly dry with a bit of a hop bite. The full body flavor lingers for awhile. There was light lacing. This was a nice refreshing flavorful beer and at a good price in the 6-7 range for a 6er or 23 for a case as are all Mendocino’s beers in my area .

Nov 21, 2008 Hmmm, this is not so great. Aromas and flavors are too malty and grainy without the balance Oh well, wine some and lose some.
